> Reporter: Simon Willnauer
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 5.0, 4.3, 4.2.1

>
> The Lucene IndexWriter might delete an entire index if it hits a
> FileNotFoundException triggered by TooManyOpenFiles during IndexWriter
> creation. We try to figure out if the index exists already if the
> OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND is set (which is default). Yet, the logic in
> DirectoryReader#indexExists(Directory) will just return false if we are not
> able to open the segment file. This will cause the IW to assume there is no
> index and it will try to create a new index there trashing all existing
> commit points treating this as a OpenMode.CREATE.
