RE: new Lucene release: 1.2 RC2
From: Sunil Zanjad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Indexes left in an inconsistent state on crash (i don't remember who I believe that even I have reported it. This happens on abrupt exit of the JVM To do this I had one thread updating a directory containing many .txt files and I simply exited the program. Later when I ran the search, it didnt give me the desired output. That's actually the correct behavior. If indexing is not completed, with a call to IndexWriter.close(), then the index should appear unchanged. Doug

RE: new Lucene release: 1.2 RC2
Hi, Two weeks back I did have the problem which I stated. But I am unable to reproduce the results currently. I tested and retested but couldnt repeat the same. Doug have U guys fixed the issue long back itself ? (The only thing I have done fresh is to download the latest lucene-1.2-rc1.zip file and re-installed lucene - since it came along with source code) :-) Regards, Sunil Zanjad -Original Message- From: Doug Cutting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 1:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; 'Scott Ganyo'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: new Lucene release: 1.2 RC2 If you think there is a bug, can you please provide a simple, self-contained, reproducible test case that illustrates the problem. You could use Runtime.getRuntime().halt() to abruptly exit the JVM.

Sunil, Two weeks back I did have the problem which I stated. But I am unable to reproduce the results currently. I tested and retested but couldnt repeat the same. Doug have U guys fixed the issue long back itself ? (The only thing I have done fresh is to download the latest lucene-1.2-rc1.zip file and re-installed lucene - since it came along with source code) I believe what Sunil was trying to describe was: a) sucessfully created index b) did searches on index c) started to update index d) clicked exit from app before updating completed e) ran app again f) could not repeat searches from step b. Doug has recently mentioned several improvements in the past month or so. I'm looking forward to moving over to the new version, which is among other things thread safe. This sounds like the area where you were probably having problems, which means it's likely that Doug's changes fixed it. This is, by the way, why it's important to report problems early, ideally along with test data and code to reproduce it, or at least detailed descriptions of how to reproduce it... Steven J.
