Anyone seen this before and have some ideas of what is going wrong?
I don't recall having seen that reported as a trouble spot before.
That particular error would occur after all docs have been added and while the
new segment is being finished. The Indexer is looking for a temporary file
related to the lexicon which should have been written while adding documents.
Some questions to help with troubleshooting:
* Is the error reproducible?
* Anything noteworthy about the file system -- e.g. is this an NFS volume?
* What do you mean by "reindexing"?
* Any permissions issues?
* What do you see in /home/ipacs/ipacs/index/webdisk/seg_943/ after the
crash?
* How many docs are being added before calling Indexer#commit?
* Any fields that have no data? I'm thinking something like a document that
contains a `foo => undef` pair. If that's the case, what happens if you
don't supply that key?

Thanks for coming back to me and sorry to be slow in replying. I
believe we have traced the issue back to an interaction between two
different systems (one doing bulk updates and another doing on the fly
single document indexing) attempting updates at the same time. I think
there was a way around the locking that caused the problem, does that
seem plausable?
The error was reproducible to some extent but went away when we shut
down one of the systems.
File system is standard UNIX, Centos 6
Reindexing refers to the bulk indexer (mentioned above) that rebuilds
the index from scratch.
No permissions issue that are obvious, both indexers were running as the
same user.
The docs are added in blocks of around 10 by the bulk indexer, we always
populate all the fields
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks
Edwin
