java.lang.Objectorg.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter
public class IndexWriter
An IndexWriter
creates and maintains an index.
The create
argument to the
constructor
determines whether a new index is created, or whether an existing index is
opened. Note that you
can open an index with create=true
even while readers are
using the index. The old readers will continue to search
the "point in time" snapshot they had opened, and won't
see the newly created index until they re-open. There are
also constructors
with no create
argument which
will create a new index if there is not already an index at the
provided path and otherwise open the existing index.
In either case, documents are added with addDocument and removed with deleteDocuments. A document can be updated with updateDocument (which just deletes and then adds the entire document). When finished adding, deleting and updating documents, close should be called.
These changes are buffered in memory and periodically
flushed to the Directory
(during the above method calls). A flush is triggered when there are
enough buffered deletes (see setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms(int)
) or enough added documents
(see setMaxBufferedDocs(int)
) since the last flush,
whichever is sooner. You can also force a flush by
calling flush()
. When a flush occurs, both pending
deletes and added documents are flushed to the index. A
flush may also trigger one or more segment merges.
The optional autoCommit
argument to the
constructors
controls visibility of the changes to IndexReader
instances reading the same index.
When this is false
, changes are not
visible until close()
is called.
Note that changes will still be flushed to the
Directory
as new files,
but are not committed (no new segments_N
file
is written referencing the new files) until close()
is
called. If something goes terribly wrong (for example the
JVM crashes) before close()
, then
the index will reflect none of the changes made (it will
remain in its starting state).
You can also call abort()
, which closes the writer without committing any
changes, and removes any index
files that had been flushed but are now unreferenced.
This mode is useful for preventing readers from refreshing
at a bad time (for example after you've done all your
deletes but before you've done your adds).
It can also be used to implement simple single-writer
transactional semantics ("all or none").
When autoCommit
is true
then
every flush is also a commit (IndexReader
instances will see each flush as changes to the index).
This is the default, to match the behavior before 2.2.
When running in this mode, be careful not to refresh your
readers while optimize or segment merges are taking place
as this can tie up substantial disk space.
Regardless of autoCommit
, an IndexReader
or IndexSearcher
will only see the
index as of the "point in time" that it was opened. Any
changes committed to the index after the reader was opened
are not visible until the reader is re-opened.
If an index will not have more documents added for a while and optimal search performance is desired, then the optimize method should be called before the index is closed.
Opening an IndexWriter
creates a lock file for the directory in use. Trying to open
another IndexWriter
on the same directory will lead to a
LockObtainFailedException
. The LockObtainFailedException
is also thrown if an IndexReader on the same directory is used to delete documents
from the index.
Expert: IndexWriter
allows an optional
IndexDeletionPolicy
implementation to be
specified. You can use this to control when prior commits
are deleted from the index. The default policy is KeepOnlyLastCommitDeletionPolicy
which removes all prior
commits as soon as a new commit is done (this matches
behavior before 2.2). Creating your own policy can allow
you to explicitly keep previous "point in time" commits
alive in the index for some time, to allow readers to
refresh to the new commit without having the old commit
deleted out from under them. This is necessary on
filesystems like NFS that do not support "delete on last
close" semantics, which Lucene's "point in time" search
normally relies on.

public void close() throws CorruptIndexException, java.io.IOException
If an Exception is hit during close, eg due to disk full or some other reason, then both the on-disk index and the internal state of the IndexWriter instance will be consistent. However, the close will not be complete even though part of it (flushing buffered documents) may have succeeded, so the write lock will still be held.
If you can correct the underlying cause (eg free up some disk space) then you can call close() again. Failing that, if you want to force the write lock to be released (dangerous, because you may then lose buffered docs in the IndexWriter instance) then you can do something like this:
try { writer.close(); } finally { if (IndexReader.isLocked(directory)) { IndexReader.unlock(directory); } }after which, you must be certain not to use the writer instance anymore.

Note that if an Exception is hit (for example disk full) then the index will be consistent, but this document may not have been added. Furthermore, it's possible the index will have one segment in non-compound format even when using compound files (when a merge has partially succeeded).
This method periodically flushes pending documents
to the Directory (every setMaxBufferedDocs(int)
),
and also periodically merges segments in the index
(every setMergeFactor(int)
flushes). When this
occurs, the method will take more time to run (possibly
a long time if the index is large), and will require
free temporary space in the Directory to do the
merging.
The amount of free space required when a merge is
triggered is up to 1X the size of all segments being
merged, when no readers/searchers are open against the
index, and up to 2X the size of all segments being
merged when readers/searchers are open against the
index (see optimize()
for details). Most
merges are small (merging the smallest segments
together), but whenever a full merge occurs (all
segments in the index, which is the worst case for
temporary space usage) then the maximum free disk space
required is the same as optimize()
.

It is recommended that this method be called upon completion of indexing. In environments with frequent updates, optimize is best done during low volume times, if at all.
See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/47895 for more discussion.
Note that this requires substantial temporary free space in the Directory (see LUCENE-764 for details):
If no readers/searchers are open against the index, then free space required is up to 1X the total size of the starting index. For example, if the starting index is 10 GB, then you must have up to 10 GB of free space before calling optimize.
If readers/searchers are using the index, then free space required is up to 2X the size of the starting index. This is because in addition to the 1X used by optimize, the original 1X of the starting index is still consuming space in the Directory as the readers are holding the segments files open. Even on Unix, where it will appear as if the files are gone ("ls" won't list them), they still consume storage due to "delete on last close" semantics.
Furthermore, if some but not all readers re-open while the optimize is underway, this will cause > 2X temporary space to be consumed as those new readers will then hold open the partially optimized segments at that time. It is best not to re-open readers while optimize is running.
The actual temporary usage could be much less than these figures (it depends on many factors).
Once the optimize completes, the total size of the index will be less than the size of the starting index. It could be quite a bit smaller (if there were many pending deletes) or just slightly smaller.
If an Exception is hit during optimize(), for example due to disk full, the index will not be corrupt and no documents will have been lost. However, it may have been partially optimized (some segments were merged but not all), and it's possible that one of the segments in the index will be in non-compound format even when using compound file format. This will occur when the Exception is hit during conversion of the segment into compound format.

This may be used to parallelize batch indexing. A large document collection can be broken into sub-collections. Each sub-collection can be indexed in parallel, on a different thread, process or machine. The complete index can then be created by merging sub-collection indexes with this method.
After this completes, the index is optimized.
This method is transactional in how Exceptions are handled: it does not commit a new segments_N file until all indexes are added. This means if an Exception occurs (for example disk full), then either no indexes will have been added or they all will have been.
If an Exception is hit, it's still possible that all indexes were successfully added. This happens when the Exception is hit when trying to build a CFS file. In this case, one segment in the index will be in non-CFS format, even when using compound file format.
Also note that on an Exception, the index may still have been partially or fully optimized even though none of the input indexes were added.
Note that this requires temporary free space in the
Directory up to 2X the sum of all input indexes
(including the starting index). If readers/searchers
are open against the starting index, then temporary
free space required will be higher by the size of the
starting index (see optimize()
for details).
Once this completes, the final size of the index will be less than the sum of all input index sizes (including the starting index). It could be quite a bit smaller (if there were many pending deletes) or just slightly smaller.
See LUCENE-702 for details.
CorruptIndexException
- if the index is corrupt
java.io.IOException
- if there is a low-level IO errorpublic void addIndexesNoOptimize(Directory[] dirs) throws CorruptIndexException, java.io.IOException
This is similar to addIndexes(Directory[]). However, no optimize() is called either at the beginning or at the end. Instead, merges are carried out as necessary.
This requires this index not be among those to be added, and the upper bound* of those segment doc counts not exceed maxMergeDocs.
See addIndexes(Directory[])
for
details on transactional semantics, temporary free
space required in the Directory, and non-CFS segments
on an Exception.

After this completes, the index is optimized.
The provided IndexReaders are not closed.
See addIndexes(Directory[])
for
details on transactional semantics, temporary free
space required in the Directory, and non-CFS segments
on an Exception.
