Hi,
I recently stumbled upon this:

It is possible (and perfectly legal) to add empty indexes (IndexReaders) to an 
IndexWriter. However, when using ParallelReaders in this context, in two 
situations RuntimeExceptions may occur for no good reason.

Condition 1:
The indexes within the ParallelReader are just empty.

When adding them to the IndexWriter, we get a java.util.NoSuchElementException 
triggered by ParallelTermEnum's constructor. The reason for that is the 
TreeMap#firstKey() method which was assumed to return null if there is no entry 
(which is not true, apparently -- it only returns null if the first key in the 
Map is null).


Condition 2 (Assuming the aforementioned bug is fixed):
The indexes within the ParallelReader originally contained one or more fields 
with TermVectors, but all documents have been marked as deleted.

When adding the indexes to the IndexWriter, we get a 
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException triggered by 
TermVectorsWriter#addAllDocVectors. The reason here is that TermVectorsWriter 
assumes that if the index is marked to have TermVectors, at least one field 
actually exists for that. This unfortunately is not true, either.

Patches and a testcase demonstrating the two bugs are provided.

Cheers,
Christian
