"fdx size mismatch" overflow causes RuntimeException
----------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-2420
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2420
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Index
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: CentOS 5.4
Reporter: Steven Bethard
I just saw the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: after flush: fdx size mismatch: -512764976 docs vs
30257618564 length in bytes of _0.fdx file exists?=true

Note the negative SegmentWriteState.numDocsInStore. I assume this is because
Lucene has a limit of 2 ^ 31 - 1 = 2147483647 (sizeof(int)) documents per
index, though I couldn't find this documented clearly anywhere. It would have
been nice to get this error earlier, back when I exceeded the limit, rather
than now, after a bunch of indexing that was apparently doomed to fail.
Hence, two suggestions:
* State clearly somewhere that the maximum number of documents in a Lucene
index is sizeof(int).
* Throw an exception when an IndexWriter first exceeds this number rather than
only on close.
