waitForMerges deadlocks if background merge fails
-------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-3373
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3373
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core/index
Affects Versions: 3.0.3
Reporter: Tim Smith
waitForMerges can deadlock if a merge fails for ConcurrentMergeScheduler
this is because the merge thread will die, but pending merges are still
available
normally, the merge thread will pick up the next merge once it finishes the
previous merge, but in the event of a merge exception, the pending work is not
resumed, but waitForMerges won't complete until all pending work is complete
i worked around this by overriding doMerge() like so:
{code}
protected final void doMerge(MergePolicy.OneMerge merge) throws IOException {
try {
super.doMerge(merge);
} catch (Throwable exc) {
// Just logging the exception and not rethrowing
// insert logging code here
}
}
{code}
Here's the rough steps i used to reproduce this issue:
override doMerge like so
{code}
protected final void doMerge(MergePolicy.OneMerge merge) throws IOException {
try {Thread.sleep(500L);} catch (InterruptedException e) { }
super.doMerge(merge);
throw new IOException("fail");
}
{code}
then, if you do the following:
loop 50 times:
addDocument // any doc
commit
waitForMerges // This will deadlock sometimes
SOLR-2017 may be related to this (stack trace for deadlock looked related)
