Due to an expected crash of a server, a few (3) entries in the XML database 
were corrupted. All but one could be restored from backup, by deleting the 
affected entry and uploading the entry from backup. In all these cases, the 
affected entry lost some data, causing XML parsing errors.

However, in one case, I receive the following error:

  No inline metadata reader available for version 109

This prevents me to read or write that entry in question. All actions cause the 
above error message to appear. This is very unfortunate as XIndice has been 
extremely stable for years now. For the backup, I also extract all entries into 
the separate location (in addition to just copying the actual database), but 
now of course the extraction actually fails:


[WARN] XMLCompressedInput - -invalid node type : 5

What would be the appropriate course of action to resolve this issue. Is there 
a way to extract the binary file in another way (not XML-based) so that I 
manually delete the affected entry.

XIndice version: v1.1b5-dev


Andre,

Are you trying to retrieve the corrupted document from the database or just 
delete it? If it is the latter, then the simplest way, I think, is to create 
new empty collection and load the existing documents.

Yes, I thought already that is probably the way to go. It will be cumbersome.

Does the exception for XMLCompressedInput happen for the same collection and 
the same corrupt document or for some unrelated backup collection?

The backup is fine. It was created before the crash. The entry in the db itself is corrupted. I manage to 'isolate' the corrupted entry such that users are not anymore affected.


Regards,
Natalia
