Jason Lambert commented on LUCENE-140:
--------------------------------------

I was having this problem intermittently while indexing over multiple threads 
and I have found that the following steps can cause this error (with Lucene 1.3 
and 1.4.x):

- Open an IndexReader (#1) over an existing index (this reader is used for 
searching while updating the index)
- Using this reader (#1) do a search for the document(s) that you would like to 
update; obtain their document ID numbers
- Create an IndexWriter and add several new documents to the index (for me, 
this writing is done in other threads) (*)
- Close the IndexWriter (*)
- Open another IndexReader (#2) over the index
- Delete the previously found documents by their document ID numbers using 
reader #2
- Close the #2 reader
- Create another IndexWriter (#2) and re-add the updated documents
- Close the IndexWriter #2
- Close the original IndexReader (#1) and open a new reader for general 
searching
 
If I ensure that the steps marked with an asterisk (*) do not happen (i.e. 
using thread synchronization), I never get this error.  Otherwise, it will 
happen intermittently while closing the second IndexWriter (#2)  (sometimes I 
get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException during the deletion).  These 'extra' 
writes cause the initial 'segments' file to be updated after which it is 
re-read while opening the second IndexReader (#2).

This can end up deleting documents using possibly non-existent IDs, most likely 
causing the index corruption that this error signals.

> Hello,
>   I can not find out, why (and what) it is happening all the time. I got an
> exception:
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: docs out of order
>         at
> org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.appendPostings(SegmentMerger.java:219)
>         at
> org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.mergeTermInfo(SegmentMerger.java:191)

> It happens either in 1.2 and 1.3rc1 (anyway what happened to it? I can not 
> find
> it neither in download nor in version list in this form). Everything seems 
> OK. I
> can search through index, but I can not optimize it. Even worse after this
> exception every time I add new documents and close IndexWriter new segments is
> created! I think it has all documents added before, because of its size.
> My index is quite big: 500.000 docs, about 5gb of index directory.
> It is _repeatable_. I drop index, reindex everything. Afterwards I add a few
> docs, try to optimize and receive above exception.
> My documents' structure is:
>   static Document indexIt(String id_strony, Reader reader, String 
> data_wydania,
> String id_wydania, String id_gazety, String data_wstawienia)
> {
>     Document doc = new Document();
>     doc.add(Field.Keyword("id", id_strony ));
>     doc.add(Field.Keyword("data_wydania", data_wydania));
>     doc.add(Field.Keyword("id_wydania", id_wydania));
>     doc.add(Field.Text("id_gazety", id_gazety));
>     doc.add(Field.Keyword("data_wstawienia", data_wstawienia));
>     doc.add(Field.Text("tresc", reader));
