Hi, We are running exactly same solr version and have these issues relatively frequently. The main cause in our case has usually been the out of memory exceptions, as some of our shards are pretty fat. Allocating more RAM usually helps for a while. The lock file needs to be manually removed still, unfortunately.
There are also sometimes commit collisions, and we get max warming searchers exceeded exceptions, but haven't yet figured out, if that may cause the locking as well. -- Dmitry On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 7:45 PM, Christopher Gross <cogr...@gmail.com>wrote: > I'm running Solr 3.4.
