Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-1044:
--------------------------------------
> Maybe we should leave the default as false for now?
Perhaps for the short-term, but long-term it would be better to find a solution
that's both reliable and doesn't have such a big performance impact.
We really don't need to sync until we commit. It would be interesting to know
how much it slows things to do that. As a quick hack we could try running the
'sync' command line program at each commit. If performance looks good, then we
might look into implementing this in pure Java, changing FSDirectory.close() to
queue FileDescriptors, add a background thread that syncs queued files, and add
a Directory.sync() method that blocks until the queue is empty.

> When indexing a large number of documents, upon a hard power failure (e.g.
> pull the power cord), the index seems to get corrupted. We start a Java
> application as an Windows Service, and feed it documents. In some cases
> (after an index size of 1.7GB, with 30-40 index segment .cfs files) , the
> following is observed.
> The 'segments' file contains only zeros. Its size is 265 bytes - all bytes
> are zeros.
> The 'deleted' file also contains only zeros. Its size is 85 bytes - all bytes
> are zeros.
> Before corruption, the segments file and deleted file appear to be correct.
> After this corruption, the index is corrupted and lost.
> This is a problem observed in Lucene 1.4.3. We are not able to upgrade our
> customer deployments to 1.9 or later version, but would be happy to back-port
> a patch, if the patch is small enough and if this problem is already solved.
