IndexMerger throws null pointer exception without stacktrace
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-2071
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2071
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
         Environment: Windows OS (XP, Vista)
Linux RHEL
 
            Reporter: Chris Schmidt


I get the following errors in my log file randomly.  It seems to happen most 
often when creating the lucene indices, but has happened at other times as well:

[IndexMerger] ERROR - Error while merging indexes: 
java.lang.NullPointerException

The code at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.IndexMerger line 344 
appears to be the point where the error is logged, but no other information is 
provided because the throwable isn't sent to the log (only the toString() 
version of the exception).  I haven't been able to tell if any indexes are 
corrupt when this happens.

I suggest that the logger be changed to determine where the null pointer is 
coming from first, then resolve the actual issue that is occurring.
