Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-656:
-----------------------------------
Patch is not working. Running all tests on trunk (linux) results in a number
of failures that probably *are* caused by this patch. Running all tests on
branch_4x (windows) results in failures, one of which is actually my new test -
which passed earlier.
When my new test failed, it was complaining about thread leaks. My test
approach probably needs some work, but I'm not familiar enough with the test
frameworks. I suspect that what needs to happen is that I need to lock the
index directory to a known location, then make that directory and do initCore.
Optionally, I could instead initCore in a the specific directory, destroy the
core completely, delete all the index files, and attempt to initCore again in
the same directory. I do not know how to go about doing this.
> better error message when "data/index" is completely empty

> Solr's normal behavior is to create an "index" dire in the dataDir if one
> does not already exist, but if "index" does exist it is used as is, warts and
> all ... if the index is corrupt in some way, and Solr can't create an
> IndexWriter or IndexReader that error is propagated up to the user.
> I don't think this should change: Solr shouldn't attempt to do anything
> special if there is a low level problem with the index, but something that
> i've seen happen more then a few times is that people unwittingly "rm
> index/*" when they should "run -r index" and as a result Solr+Lucene gives
> them an error instead of just giving them an empty index
> when checking if an existing index dir exists, it would probably be worth
> while to add a little one line sanity test that it contains some files, and
> log a warning.
