Description

Running Nutch inside a server JVM or multiple times in the same JVM, MapFile.Writer doesn't get collected or closed by the WebDBWriter and the associated files and directories are not deleted, consequently throws a File exists error in the constructor of MapFile.Writer.

Seems that this portion of code is very heavily integrated into Nutch and I am hesitant to look for a solution personally as a retrofit will be necessary with every release.

Has anyone got any ideas, had the same issue, any solutions?

Regards

Michael
