Hello

My code looks like this:

Directory dir = null;
try {
dir = FSDirectory.getDirectory("/path/to/dictionary");
SpellChecker spell = new SpellChecker(dir); // exception thrown here
// ...
dir.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
log error
} finally {
if (dir!=null) {
try {
dir.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
log error
}
}
}


This code works, but in a highly concurrent situation
AlreadyClosedException is being thrown when I try to instantiate the
SpellChecker:
org.apache.lucene.store.AlreadyClosedException: this Directory is closed
at org.apache.lucene.store.Directory.ensureOpen(Directory.java:220)
at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.openInput(FSDirectory.java:481)
at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos.read(SegmentInfos.java:214)
at
org.apache.lucene.index.DirectoryIndexReader$1.doBody(DirectoryIndexReader.java:95)
at
org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos$FindSegmentsFile.run(SegmentInfos.java:653)

org.apache.lucene.index.DirectoryIndexReader.open(DirectoryIndexReader.java:115)

at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.(SpellChecker.java:116)
at
org.apache.lucene.search.spell.SpellChecker.(SpellChecker.java:95)


I use lucene-core-2.4.1.jar and lucene-spellchecker-2.4.1.jar and I can
reproduce the error in both windows and linux.
Any ideas on what is wrong?

thanks
Ioannis Cherouvim

    if an error only happens under high concurrent load, it suggests that
    perhaps you have multiple threads attempting to close the directory. you
    haven't clarified whether "dir" is a local variable inside a method, or an
    instnace variable in an object which is getting reused by multiple
    threads -- so it's hard to guess.

    if you have a fully exeuctable test case (instead of just an incomplete
    partial snippet) that you can share, people may be able to spot the
    problem, or at the very least run the test themselves to reproduce.

    dir is a local variable inside a method, so it's not getting reused.
    Should I synchronise the whole method? I think that would slow things
    down in a concurrent environment.

    Thanks for your response.

    i don't really have any new advice beyond my previous comment...

    ...it's hard to speculate what might be going wrong without having code
    that can reproduce it.
