If you opened an IndexReader was has it also been closed before you attempt
to delete?

Subject: Deleting an index


I'm writing some junit tests for my search code (which layers on top of
Lucene).  The tests all follow the same pattern:

1. setUp(): Create some directories; write some files to be indexed
2. someTest: Call the indexer to create an index on the generated
files; do several searches and verify counts, expected hits, etc.;
3. tearDown(): Delete all of the directories and associated files
included the just-created index.


My problem is that I am unable to delete the index.  I've narrowed it
down to something in the search routine not letting go of the index file
(i.e., if I do the indexing and comment out the search, then everything
deletes fine).  The search code is pretty straight forward.  It creates
a new IndexSearcher (which it caches and hence uses for all searches in
the test).  Each individual search simply creates several QueryParsers
and then combines them to do a search using the cached IndexSearcher.
After the last search, I close() the IndexSearcher.  But something still
seems to have hold of the index.  I've tried nulling the hits object,
but that didn't seem to affect anything.


Any ideas?


Scott
