Xapian discuss - Oct 2011 - xapian database corrupt with multi-write

I think it is a important bug.

When there are mutiple write to a xapian db, it should raise db locked
error.
But I found the DB is currupted after that.

It happened very often in our system.

Yes, I know xapian support only one write. But admin mistake may happen.

Can this be solved? thanks.

I can't reproduce this here, and that kind of bug would bite a lot of people
if it were general. It seems likely that there's something specific to the
way you're doing things.

Are you getting the DatabaseLockError raised, and then on subsequent open
finding the database to be corrupt? Or are you not seeing the exception and
subsequently finding the database to be corrupt?
