Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-1044:
--------------------------------------
> How about if we don't sync every single commit point?
I'm confused. The semantics of commit should be that all changes prior are
made permanent, and no subsequent changes are permanent until the next commit.
So syncs, if any, should map 1:1 to commits, no? Folks can make indexing
faster by committing/syncing less often.

> When indexing a large number of documents, upon a hard power failure (e.g.
> pull the power cord), the index seems to get corrupted. We start a Java
> application as an Windows Service, and feed it documents. In some cases
> (after an index size of 1.7GB, with 30-40 index segment .cfs files) , the
> following is observed.
> The 'segments' file contains only zeros. Its size is 265 bytes - all bytes
> are zeros.
> The 'deleted' file also contains only zeros. Its size is 85 bytes - all bytes
> are zeros.
> Before corruption, the segments file and deleted file appear to be correct.
> After this corruption, the index is corrupted and lost.
> This is a problem observed in Lucene 1.4.3. We are not able to upgrade our
> customer deployments to 1.9 or later version, but would be happy to back-port
> a patch, if the patch is small enough and if this problem is already solved.
