lucene-??? files: are they ever deleted after? was: locking problems
Hi,
>From earlier postings I understand that when lucene opens an IndexWriter
or executes a number of specific methods on an IndexReader that a lock
is created in .../tomcat/temp. My question is. Are these files ever
deleted after something has gone wrong? For instance, when the server is
restarted or something similar? If not, is there any way to figure out
where the lock came from? e.g a timestamp as part of the filename?
BTW: thanks for the earlier responses, I have a working solution now..
Aad

Aad,
note that .../topic/temp is not always correct. If you use Lucene
outside of Tomcat, the lock files will be stored elsewhere.
If IndexWriter/Readers are properly handled, they will clean up lock
files after themselves. If something breaks (e.g. IOException because
you are out of disk space or because something kills the process), lock
files will remain and you will need to clean them up yourself.
Checking whether these lock files are current or stale is something
you'll have to do in your application, I'm afraid, possibly using their
time stamps to determine this.
