Hi everybody,
i'm new in working with lucene indexing, and i hope that anybody could help me with the followiing problem:
i cannot rebuild index after i have some searches done. The error that i get is:



2002-11-19 23:54:55,250 ERROR [STDERR] java.io.IOException: couldn't delete r.fdt

2002-11-19 23:54:55,250 ERROR [STDERR] at
com.lucene.store.FSDirectory. (FSDirectory.java:55)

2002-11-19 23:54:55,250 ERROR [STDERR] at
com.lucene.store.FSDirectory. (FSDirectory.java:40)

2002-11-19 23:54:55,250 ERROR [STDERR] at
com.lucene.index.IndexWriter. (IndexWriter.java:63)

............




If i try to rebuild index at the first time (before searching), is ok and i can rebuild.
But after i make a search, and then i try to rebuild index, the index files (located in my search folder) are somehow locked, and rebuilding index fails because these files cannot be deleted (i also tried to erase them manually, from windows, but it also failed, because they were used by something).


I did some debug, and after searching, when i call :
"writer = new IndexWriter(indexPath, analyzer, true)", writer is null! So i cannot create a new indexWriter.

I mention that updating index ("writer = new IndexWriter(indexPath, analyzer, false")) works ok.


Do you have any idea what is happening? or this behaviour is normal?


Thanx,
Dragos
