Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-4870: ----------------------------------------- this has been fixed in 4.2.1 - I'd recommend to upgrade to the latest 4.x version that is 4.4 at this point. simon > Lucene deletes entire index if and exception is thrown due do > TooManyOpenFiles and OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-4870 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4870 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 3.6.2 > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 5.0, 4.3, 4.2.1 > > Attachments: LUCENE-4870.patch, LUCENE-4870.patch, LUCENE-4870.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
