Summary: Cutover to Java7 nio APIS to improve SegmentInfos
fallback logic
Key: LUCENE-5910
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5910
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Spinoff from LUCENE-5904 ...
Today we have crazy logic (SegmentInfos.FindSegmentsFile) to try to locate the
"latest" segments_N file from the index directory, even while a writer commits
(writes a new segments_N+1 and removes the old one) concurrently while we try
to open a DirectoryReader on the index.
But it's scary because it catches any IOException and assumes that segments_N
was no good and tries to find an older one to load.
Really it should be more picky, and only fall back e.g. if it hit EOFE, or if
one of the SegmentReaders hit FNFE, and for other exceptions e.g. transient
problems like "out of file desctriptors" or OOME or "access denied" it should
immediately throw these back to caller instead of falling back which risks
losing documents in the index.
