Mark,

Thanks for your help and lucid exposition of what may be going on....I will await to hear from you before I plough ahead with the latest trunk bits....

Best regards,

-- Bill

Hang on. The more I look at this, the more I am thinking that was not the problem. Directories are pretty strictly managed by Lucene at the moment, and it should actually be pretty difficult to have one closed out from under you. They are singletons and reference counted. The IndexReader would have to have been closed if it was responsible for closing the Directory, and in that case, we would not be trying to reopen it. The Searcher we get the IndexReader from has been inc ref'd to ensure it won't close. All I can think is that something is grabbing/stealing a Directory that didn't directly ask for it from FSDirectory.getDirectory, and is then closing it. I'm trying to hunt where that could be happening now. Hope to spot something, but appears pretty mysterious at the moment. I suppose another option is a nasty little race condition - I've been trying to repeat the error by sending lots of update/search requests from multiple threads with no luck though. Looks like I may have to throw in snap puller code (havn't look too heavily into any of that before).

At worst, if/when a fix is discovered, you will probably be able to apply just the fix to the revision your working with.

Mark,

Thanks for your response --- I do appreciate all you volunteers working to provide such a nice system!

Anyway, I will try the trunk bits as you said. The only problem is that the later the trunk I use from 1.3, the more of post 1.3 capability I get. And I feel somewhat exposed running these bits in our production environment...

Not sure if there's another approach?

Thanks,
-Bill

Hey William, sorry about the trouble. I have to look at this further, but I think the issue is fixed if you grab the latest trunk build. Solr-465 should inadvertently fix things - before that patch, a deprecated constructor for solrsearcher was being called - this constructor caused the underlying IndexReader to close its own Directory, and since IndexReaders are reopened, we don't want that.

Looks like there might be an issue with the reopen - I'm not seeing what it could be offhand though. Have to find what could be closing a Directory unexpectedly...I'll try to take a further look over the weekend.

Folks:

I am using the nightly build of 1.3 as of Oct 23 so as to use the replication handler. I am running on windows 2003 server with tomcat 6.0.14. Everything was running fine until I noticed that certain updated records were not showing up on the slave. Further investigation showed me that the failures have indeed been occurring since early this morning with a fatal exception....here is a segment of the tomcat log:

Any ideas, anyone?
