Vassil Zorev commented on LUCENE-4870:
--------------------------------------
Hello, Lucene team,
My team and I are currently running a quite old version of the lucene-core
library - 3.0.0. As part of our internal memory optimization fixes, we are also
planning to migrate to newer version. Research so far brought me to think our
best risk-benefit trade off is Lucene 3.6.2. (We are planning to go to the 4.X
branch - current development, but that would perhaps come in our own major
version upgrade) However, due to this here issue, I would really like to know
which version of the core library does not have it? 3.6.1 perhaps? Or 3.5.X?
As I understand from your comments, you are not yet planning to provide a fix
on the 3.6.X branch - please advise to which version we should migrate where
this bug is not present?
Thank you very much!
Vassil Zorev, web developer

> The Lucene IndexWriter might delete an entire index if it hits a
> FileNotFoundException triggered by TooManyOpenFiles during IndexWriter
> creation. We try to figure out if the index exists already if the
> OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND is set (which is default). Yet, the logic in
> DirectoryReader#indexExists(Directory) will just return false if we are not
> able to open the segment file. This will cause the IW to assume there is no
> index and it will try to create a new index there trashing all existing
> commit points treating this as a OpenMode.CREATE.
