Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1044:
--------------------------------------------
OK, I tested calling command-line "sync", after writing each segments
file. It's in fact even slower than fsync on each file for these 3
cases:
Linux (2.6.22.1), reiserfs 6 drive RAID5 array 93% slower
sync - 330.74
nosync - 171.24
Linux (2.6.22.1), ext3 single drive 60% slower
sync - 242.02
nosync - 150.91
Mac Pro (10.4 Tiger), 4 drive RAID0 array 28% slower
sync - 204.77
nosync - 159.90
I'll look into the separate thread to sync/close files in the
background next...

> 1.5
> Reporter: venkat rangan

> 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.
