I'll look into these. The other parts I am not sure on is the throwing of exceptions for mismatches. I know they mean CheckIndex can't go forward, but they aren't really errors in CheckIndex, so much as errors in the index, which CheckIndex is just reporting. So, I'm inclined to capture that and present it (and return immediately) instead of throw an exception. Is that reasonable?

This sounds good! I like the idea of checking the index when Solr has to force release the write.lock.

The one caveat is, when checking a large index (which can take quite some time), it'd be nice to have the equivalent of the inline'd out.print/ln calls happen in realtime so that you can see (on the command line output) that progress is being made, which segment is being checked, etc.?

Maybe change it to an optional "infoStream" (like IndexWriter), and then the current inlined prints become calls to message() which checks if infoStream is non-null?

Hey Mike,

I'm thinking about https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-566 and was thinking about adding some more programmatic access to the CheckIndex tool and wanted to see if you had any thoughts. Basically, I am going to to capture info into a simple data structure that can then be introspected and serialized into a RequestHandler, but also something that might be more generally useful in certain cases where things go bad. I was debating keeping the inline out.printlns, but not sure if they shouldn't just be moved to the main such that the cmd line stuff still works as is, but it doesn't clog the logs for those that want programmatic access.

I'll post a patch soon, but wanted to see if you had any preliminary insight.
