Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2328: -------------------------------------------- In the current proposal, IndexOutput won't call dir.sync. All it will do is notify the dir when it was closed so the dir will record that filename as "eligible for commit". Lucene today never syncs a file until after it's closed, but, conceivably some day it could. Or others who use the Dir API to write their own files could. At the OS level this is perfectly fine (in fact you have to pass an open fd to fsync). It seems presumptuous of the directory to silently ignore a call to sync just because the file hadn't been closed yet... > IndexWriter.synced field accumulates data leading to a Memory Leak > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2328 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2328 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 3.0, 3.0.1 > Environment: all > Reporter: Gregor Kaczor > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.1 > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > I am running into a strange OutOfMemoryError.
