Hello All,

I am new to Java Lucene Api.  I am writing a heavy test for lucene java
api. The test is to write text data to disk and also create a lucene
index for it.  Everytime, I write index file, I do the following:

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter writer =3D new
org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter(indexDirectory, new
StandardAnalyzer(), createDb);
        try {
            writer.setMergeFactor(20);
            writer.addDocument(FileDocument.Document(f));
            writer.optimize();
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
          throw e;
        }
        Finally()
        {
          writer.close();
        }

Questions:

1/Should I have a IndexWriter stay open or should I open/close it for
every write?

2/
I have the following error when do the optimize() call.  Do I have to
make this call every time I write a file to lucene index?


Thanks for your help

Anh Ngo

Logging was first added in Java 1.4.

But lots of folks do use log4j in favor of Java's built-in logging.=20
Commons Logging permits one to code to a generic logging API and let the

application configuration determine whether that's Java's logging, log4j

or something else.
