Chetan Mehrotra commented on OAK-4943:
--------------------------------------
[~ianeboston] Are there any more changes in your github branch? I see only
changes around enabling Deletion Policy but no change around how attempt
opening the directory to previous commits.
> Keep Lucene Commits so that if the Segments file gets corrupted recovery can
> be attempted.

> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lucene
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Reporter: Ian Boston
> Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra
> Fix For: 1.6
>
>
> Currently, Lucene deletes all previous generations of the segments files as
> it has it uses the default IndexDeletionPolicy. Changing this to an
> IndexDeletionPolicy that keeps a number of previous segments files will allow
> an operator to find the most recent valid commit when the current segments
> file reports corruption. The patch found at
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/compare/trunk...ieb:KeepLuceneCommits
> keeps 10 previous commits.
> A more sophisticated policy could be used to save commits non-linearly over
> time.
