That's interesting. So you are using IndexReader.reopen() to get a new reader? Are you closing the previous reader?

The exception goes away if you create a new IndexSearcher on the reopened IndexReader?

I don't yet see how that could explain the exception, though. If you reopen() the underling IndexReader in an IndexSearcher, the original IndexReader should still be intact and still searching the point-in- time snapshot that it had been opened on. IndexSearcher itself doens't hold any "state" about the index (I think); it relies on IndexReader for that.

I think I could solve the "problem". It was no Lucene specific problem. What I did was reopen the IndexReader but not creating a new IndexSearcher object. But of course as Java always passes parameters by value (no matter what parameter) the old IndexSearcher object did not see the updated IndexReader object, because IndexSearcher is working with its own instance of IndexReader and not with the reference to the original IndexReader. So what caused the problem was the requests always were sent to the same instance of IndexSearcher. But when the IndexSearcher had to access the index physically (the harddisk) of course changes made by the IndexWriter were just visible to the IndexReader but not to the IndexSearcher.
Is that the explaination Mike?

By "does not help" do you mean CheckIndex never detects this corruption, yet you then hit that exception when searching?

By "reopening fails" what do you mean? I thought reopen works fine, but then it's only the search that fails?

Checking the index after adding documents and befor reopening the IndexReader does not help. After adding documents nothing bad happens and CheckIndex says the index is all right. But when I check the index before reopen it CheckIndex does not detect any corruption and says the index is ok and reopening fails.

This is spooky: that exception means you have some sort of index corruption. The TermScorer thinks it found a doc ID 37389, which is out of bounds.

Reopening IndexReader while IndexWriter is writing should be completely fine.

Is this easily reproduced? If so, if you could narrow it down to sequence of added documents, that'd be awesome.

It's very strange that you see the corruption go away. Can you run CheckIndex (java org.apache.lucene.index.CheckIndex <indexDir>) to see if it detects any corruption. In fact, if you could run CheckIndex after each session of IndexWriter to isolate which batch of added documents causes the corruption, that could help us narrow it down.

Are you changing any of the settings in IndexWriter? Are you using multiple threads? Which exact JRE version and OS are you using? Are you creating a new index at the start of each run?

Hi,

I see some strange behavoiur of lucene. The following scenario.
While adding documents to my index (every doc is pretty small, doc-count is about 12000) I have implemented a custom behaviour of flushing and committing documents to the index. Before adding documents to the index I check if wether der ramDocCount has reached a certain number of if the last commit is a while ago. If so i flush the buffered documents and reopen the IndexWriter. So far, so good. Indexing works very well. The problem is that if I send requests with die IndexReader while writing documents with the IndexWriter (I send around 10.000 requests to lucene) I reopen the IndexReader every 100 requests (only for testing) if the IndexReader is not current. The first around 4000 requests work very well, but afterwards I always get the following exception:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 37389
        at org.apache.lucene.search.TermScorer.score(TermScorer.java:126)

        at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:46)
        at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:38)

This seems to be a temporarily problem because opening a new IndexReader after all documents were added everything is ok again and the 10.000 requests are all right.

So what could be the problem here?
