Hi,
Background: My company has built an Android application that utilizes
Lucene 4.7.0 to index and search upon a fairly static set of about 100,000
documents. We have used numerous versions of Lucene over the years, and
they have all worked well to accomplish this purpose.
Issue: Upon upgrading to Lucene 4.10.0, the application’s functionality
broke. As it turns out, an exception named
“java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException” is now utilized within the
DirectoryReader class. This exception class is not available within the
Android runtime, and the Dalvik VM crashes with an “unable to resolve
exception” error every time a DirectoryReader tries to open.
Possible Solutions: This problem could be remedied by replacing the usage
of “java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException” with “java.io.FileNotFoundException”
or simply an IOException. The suspect code exists in the “listCommits”
method of “DirectoryReader.”
try {
sis.read(dir, fileName);
} catch (NoSuchFileException | FileNotFoundException var10) {
sis = null;
}
Is this something you would consider changing to make it compatible with
android?
Thanks in Advance,
David
