[jira] Reopened: (LUCENE-771) Change default write lock file
location to index directory (not java.io.tmpdir)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-771?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Michael McCandless reopened LUCENE-771:
---------------------------------------
Woops, I committed a silly violation of the LockFactory abstraction
(I'm removing files in FSDirectory when that should only occur inside
the LockFactory implementation.) I'm re-opening and I'll get the
corrected fix in soon.
> Change default write lock file location to index directory (not java.io.tmpdir)
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-771
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-771
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Assigned To: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Now that readers are read-only, we no longer need to store lock files
> in a different global lock directory than the index directory. This
> has been a source of confusion and caused problems to users in the
> past.
> Furthermore, once the write lock is stored in the index directory, it
> no longer needs the big digest prefix that was previously required
> to make sure lock files in the global lock directory, from different
> indexes, did not conflict.
> This way, all files related to an index will appear in a single
> directory. And you can easily list that directory to see if a
> "write.lock" is present to check whether a writer is open on the
> index.
> Note that this change just affects how FSDirectory creates its default
> lockFactory if no lockFactory was specified. It is still possible
> (just no longer the default) to pick a different directory to store
> your lock files by pre-instantiating your own LockFactory.
> As part of this I would like to remove LOCK_DIR and the no-argument
> constructor, in SimpleFSLockFactory and NativeFSLockFactory. I don't
> think we should have the notion of a global default lock directory
> anymore. This is actually an API change. However, neither
> SimpleFSLockFactory nor NativeFSLockFactory haver been released yet,
> so I think this API removal is allowed?
> Finally I want to deprecate (but not yet remove, because this has been
> in the API for many releases) the static LOCK_DIR that's in
> FSDirectory. But it's now entirely unused.
