Opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-964 as this seems to be a blocker for us, until we can figure out how to rebuild an index from information in our DB.

OK, that makes sense. However my main question is how do I recover from a corrupt search index? The automatic repair that seems to kick in on a restart notifies me that the index cannot be repaired. It seems like a DB backup is not enough, and I also have to back up my file-based search indexes. This seems bad, as it will be nearly impossible to take these two backup snapshots of two persistent stores in the same state.

Hi Noah,

We've been running into issues with our jackrabbit index on forced shutdowns. On restarts, we end up getting errors like the following:
Error indexing root node:
java.io.IOException: Error indexing root node: b5d9c4a1-07d5-471e-9fc9-e9a2fbd6ae48 at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.MultiIndex.<init> (MultiIndex.java:313) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.SearchIndex.doInit (SearchIndex.java:295) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.AbstractQueryHandler.init (AbstractQueryHandler.java:44)
[...]
We attempted to get around this issue by simply deleted the index of the repository (on the particular machine in a cluster) and restarted with no luck. In the end, the only thing that seems to work is to copy the index directory from one of the other functional machines in our cluster, followed by a restart. This seems like a really ugly way of getting around this issue. Is there something obvious we're doing wrong. Shouldn't it be possible to add a machine to a cluster with no pre-existing index? What are we missing?

My guess is, that this happens because content is changed while the new cluster node indexes (traverses) the workspace.

Might be related to: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-931
