[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-511) Clean up orphaned lock files on startup

Clean up orphaned lock files on startup --------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-511 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-511 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: Improvement Components: engine Affects Versions: 3.2.0.CR1 Reporter: Marc Schipperheyn Assignee: Sanne Grinovero I have had several occassions when the MassIndexer failed to complete for some reason and I had to restart Tomcat. MassIndexer creates lockfiles for the indexes it is updating. These lock files remain after a restart and block MassIndexer from running again. I suggest that Hibernate Search during startup checks for the existence of lock files in the index directory and removes then if they are there. This prevents an administrator from having to go and do it manually which is a bummer in production.
