NullPointerException from FieldsReader after problem reading the index ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1262 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1262 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Index Affects Versions: 2.3.1 Reporter: Trejkaz There is a situation where there is an IOException reading from Hits, and then the next time you get a NullPointerException instead of an IOException. Example stack traces: java.io.IOException: The specified network name is no longer available at java.io.RandomAccessFile.readBytes(Native Method) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.read(RandomAccessFile.java:322) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSIndexInput.readInternal(FSDirectory.java:536) at org.apache.lucene.store.BufferedIndexInput.readBytes(BufferedIndexInput.java:74) at org.apache.lucene.index.CompoundFileReader$CSIndexInput.readInternal(CompoundFileReader.java:220) at org.apache.lucene.store.BufferedIndexInput.refill(BufferedIndexInput.java:93) at org.apache.lucene.store.BufferedIndexInput.readByte(BufferedIndexInput.java:34) at org.apache.lucene.store.IndexInput.readVInt(IndexInput.java:57) at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldsReader.doc(FieldsReader.java:88) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.document(SegmentReader.java:344) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.document(IndexReader.java:368) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.doc(IndexSearcher.java:84) at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.doc(Hits.java:104) That error is fine. The problem is the next call to doc generates: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldsReader.getIndexType(FieldsReader.java:280) at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldsReader.addField(FieldsReader.java:216) at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldsReader.doc(FieldsReader.java:101) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.document(SegmentReader.java:344) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.document(IndexReader.java:368) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.doc(IndexSearcher.java:84) at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.doc(Hits.java:104) Presumably FieldsReader is caching partially-initialised data somewhere. I would normally expect the exact same IOException to be thrown for subsequent calls to the method. -- 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]
