Thomas Mueller commented on OAK-5519:
-------------------------------------
[~jsedding] This only works if text extraction is reading, but in my case it's
in an endless loop that doesn't read. Even Thread.interrupt() won't work in
that case. However, you can try Thread.stop() if you are adventurous.

> Key: OAK-5519
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5519
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: indexing
> Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
> Assignee: Thomas Mueller
> Labels: resilience
> Fix For: 1.8, 1.7.12
>
>
> If a text extraction is blocked (weird PDF) or a blob cannot be found in the
> datastore or any other error upon indexing one item from the repository that
> is outside the scope of the indexer, it currently halts the indexing (lane).
> Thus one item (that maybe isn't important to the users at all) can block the
> indexing of other, new content (that might be important to users), and it
> always requires manual intervention (which is also not easy and requires oak
> experts).
> Instead, the item could be remembered in a known issue list, proper warnings
> given, and indexing continue. Maintenance operations should be available to
> come back to reindex these, or the indexer could automatically retry after
> some time. This would allow normal user activity to go on without manual
> intervention, and solving the problem (if it's isolated to some binaries) can
> be deferred.
> I think the line should probably be drawn for binary properties. Not sure if
> other JCR property types could trigger a similar issue, and if a failure in
> them might actually warrant a halt, as it could lead to an "incorrect" index,
> if these properties are important. But maybe the line is simply a try & catch
> around "full text extraction".
