Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4405:
---------------------------------------
Hi Radhakrishna,
the reason for this error is generally one of the following:
- You try to create a new index in a non-empty directory. If one of the files
looks like a index file name it is taken into account. Use an empty directory
for new indexes.
- You try to open an existing index, where non-lucene files are placed in it.
The above filename looks like a cloned file (e.g. by pressing Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V in
your file manager) causing this Exception. Clean up your index directory by
removing the file that contains the above pattern from the Exception message -
or recreate the index. File names are part of the Lucene index structure, so
foreign names violate the "file format" (in our case it is more a directory
format).
I would say this is wont fix for Lucene 3.x, but in Lucene trunk/4.x we should
revisit this code and maybe rethrow the NumberFormatException as
CorruptIndexException with the full file name and explanation (the above
message only shows part of the file).
