Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3627: -------------------------------------------- Awesome, thanks Ken! > CorruptIndexException on indexing after a failure occurs after segments file > creation but before any bytes are written > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3627 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3627 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.5 > Environment: lucene-3.5.0, src download from GA release > lucene.apache.org. > Mac OS X 10.6.5, running tests in Eclipse Build id: 20100218-1602, > java version "1.6.0_24" > Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07-334-10M3326) > Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02-334, mixed mode) > Reporter: Ken McCracken > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.6, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-3627.patch, LUCENE-3627_initial_proposal.txt, > TestCrashCausesCorruptIndex.java > > Original Estimate: 48h > Remaining Estimate: 48h > > FSDirectory.createOutput(..) uses a RandomAccessFile to do its work. On my > system the default FSDirectory.open(..) creates an NIOFSDirectory. If > createOutput is called on a segments_* file and a crash occurs between > RandomAccessFile creation (file system shows a segments_* file exists but has > zero bytes) but before any bytes are written to the file, subsequent > IndexWriters cannot proceed. The difficulty is that it does not know how to > clear the empty segments_* file. None of the file deletions will happen on > such a segment file because the opening bytes cannot not be read to determine > format and version. > An initial proposed patch file is attached below. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
