-------------------------------------

             Summary: CheckIndex shows wrong segment size in 4.0 because 
SegmentInfoPerCommit.sizeInBytes counts every file 2 times; check for deletions 
is negated and results in wrong output
                 Key: LUCENE-4455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4455
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core/index
    Affects Versions: 4.0-BETA
            Reporter: Uwe Schindler
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 4.0


I found this bug in 4.0-RC1 when I compared the checkindex outputs for 4.0 and 
3.6.1:
- The segment size is twice as big as reported by "ls -lh". The reason is that 
SegmentInfoPerCommit.sizeInBytes counts every file 2 times. This seems to be 
serious (it is just statistics), because MergePolicy chooses merges because of 
this. On the other hand if all segments are twice as big it should not affect 
merging behaviour (unless absolute sizes in megabytes are used). So we should 
really fix this - sorry for investigating this so late!
- The deletions in the segments are inverted. Segments that have no deleteions 
are reported as those *with deletions* but delGen=-1, and those with deletions 
show "no deletions", this is not serious, but should be fixed, too.

There is one "bug" in sizeInBytes (which we should NOT fix), is that for 3.x 
indexes, if they are from 3.0 and have shared doc stores they are 
overestimated. But that's fine. For this case, the index was a 3.6.1 segment 
and a 4.0 segment, both showed double size.
