com.atlassian.bonnie.LuceneException: org.apache.lucene.store.LockObtainFailedException: Lock obtain timed out: SimpleFSLock@C:\bamboo\index\write.lock
at com.atlassian.bonnie.ConcurrentLuceneConnection.constructIndexWriter(ConcurrentLuceneConnection.java:551)Cause
Bamboo maintains a Lucene index. While indexing bamboo obtains a write lock on the index directory. If bamboo is terminated forcefully or shut down before the index completes the write lock file remains. After restarting bamboo when the next index operation commences it cannot complete because the index directory is locked
Resolution
Delete the write.lock file in <bamboo-home>/index and re-index bamboo.
