                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3567
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core/index
    Affects Versions: 3.0.3
         Environment: various OS and JRE combos: 
http://statistics.netbeans.org/exceptions/detail.do?id=180686
            Reporter: Jesse Glick


Occasionally NetBeans IDE users receive an NPE from Lucene 3.0.3 inside Maven 
Indexer (currently 4.1.2) code:

Working backwards, {{parent.core.getTermsReader()}} is null, which means 
{{SegmentReaders.CoreReaders.decRef}} was called, which means 
{{SegmentReader.doClose}} was called, which means {{IndexReader.doClose}} was 
called, which I suppose means something called {{IndexReader.decRef}} 
prematurely. But plenty of things can call {{IndexReader.decRef}} and it is not 
clear how to track down the root cause.

Note that {{SegmentReader.termDocs}} first calls {{ensureOpen()}}, which is 
presumably supposed to ensure that {{decRef}} had not been called too many 
times; perhaps this assertion did not work?
