IndexWriter.rollback can hang if a previous call hit an exception -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1347 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1347 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Index Affects Versions: 2.3.1, 2.3 Reporter: Michael McCandless Assignee: Michael McCandless Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.3.2, 2.4 IW.rollback has logic to make sure only one thread actually gets to do the rollback whenever multiple threads are calling it at the same time, by setting the "boolean closing" to true in the thread that got there first. Other threads wait for that variable to become false again before returning from abort. But, we are not restoring closing to false in a try/finally in rollback(), which means on hitting an exception in rollback, a subsequent call to rollback() will hang forever. close() has the same logic, but there is already a try/finally there to restore closing to false on exception. The fix is straightforward. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
