Lucene Indexing on NFS

[Bowden Wise <wi...@acm.org>]

Hello,

I have been getting the following lock error when attempting to open an
index writer to add new documents to an index.
org.apache.lucene.store.LockObtainFailedException
Lock obtain timed out:
NativeFSLock@/opt/shared/data/CTXTMNG/PAC_INDEX/lucene/aero/prod/index/write.lock

I believe this is because we are using NFS.

Has anyone gotten Lucene to work on NFS? What steps did you take?

Thanks
Bowden

Use SimpleFSLockFactory.  See the javadocs about locks being left
behind on abnormal JVM termination.

There was a thread on this list a while ago about some pros and cons
of using lucene on NFS.  2-Oct-2012 in fact.
