[jira] [Resolved] (LUCENE-4751) IndexReader close throwing
NullPointerException
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4751?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Simon Willnauer resolved LUCENE-4751.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The problem here is that you are getting this critical TooManyOpenFilesException which already brings down your site. You should raise the open files limit and I recommend you to upgrade to a newer lucene version. 2.9.2 is pretty old.

> Hi,
> Has anyone seen the NullPointerException as shown below before? We have used Lucene to build a public site search functionality.
> All the IndexReader objects in there are closed appropriately except one that throws the following error and results in (too many files open) exception.
> This brings the entire site down.
> The lucene version we are using is lucene-core-2.9.2.jar
>
> Any idea what could cause this exception?
