When IndexReader.reopen is called, old reader is not properly closed --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1808 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1808 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Components: search Affects Versions: 1.4 Reporter: John Wang According to Lucene documentation: "If the index has not changed since this instance was (re)opened, then this call is a NOOP and returns this instance. Otherwise, a new instance is returned. The old instance is not closed and remains usable." In SolrCore.java: if (newestSearcher != null && solrConfig.reopenReaders && indexDirFile.equals(newIndexDirFile)) { IndexReader currentReader = newestSearcher.get().getReader(); IndexReader newReader = currentReader.reopen(); if (newReader == currentReader) { currentReader.incRef(); } tmp = new SolrIndexSearcher(this, schema, "main", newReader, true, true); } When currentReader!=newReader, currentReader seems to be leaking. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
