Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1044: -------------------------------------------- I modified the CFS sync case to NOT bother syncing the files that go into the CFS. I also turned off syncing of segments.gen. I also tested on a Windows Server 2003 box. New patched attached (still a hack just to test performance!) and new results. All tests are with the "sync every commit" policy: ||IO System||CFS sync||CFS nosync||CFS % slower||non-CFS sync||non-CFS nosync||non-CFS % slower|| |2 drive RAID0 Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise x64|250|244|2.6%|241|241|0.1%| |ReiserFS 6-drive RAID5 array Linux (2.6.22.1)|186|166|11.9%|145|142|2.0%| |EXT3 single internal drive Linux (2.6.22.1)|160|158|0.9%|142|135|4.8%| |4 drive RAID0 array Mac Pro (10.4 Tiger)|152|155|-2.4%|149|147|1.3%| |Win XP Pro laptop, single drive|408|398|2.6%|343|346|-1.1%| |Mac Pro single external drive|211|209|1.0%|167|149|12.4%| > Behavior on hard power shutdown > ------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1044 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1044 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Index > Environment: Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Sun Hotspot Java > 1.5 > Reporter: venkat rangan > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Fix For: 2.3 > > Attachments: FSyncPerfTest.java, LUCENE-1044.patch, > LUCENE-1044.take2.patch, LUCENE-1044.take3.patch, LUCENE-1044.take4.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
