[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2637) FSDirectory.copyBytes isn't safe for SimpleFSDirectory

["Robert Muir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2637?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12907248#action_12907248 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2637:
-------------------------------------

related to this issue, I want to question if we should really be using FileChannel.transferFrom in FSDirectory at all.

Couldn't this make SimpleFSDirectory susceptible to LUCENE-2239?

We documented on that issue that users should use SimpleFSDirectory to prevent the ClosedByInterruptException.

I guess its worth considering if SimpleFSDirectory's copyBytes should simply copy byte[] and not use any NIOFS semantics.

> the copyBytes optimization from LUCENE-2574 is not safe for SimpleFSDirectory, but works fine for NIOFSDirectory.
> With SimpleFSDirectory, the copyBytes optimization causes index corruption.
> see http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/36d2dbfc691909d5/bug_triggered_by_testindexwriter_testrandomstoredfields for background
> here are my steps to reproduce (most of the time, at least on windows):
> {noformat}
> 1. edit line 87 of TestIndexWriter to plugin the seed:
>     random = newRandom(3312389322103990899L);
> 2. edit line 5138 of TestIndexWriter to force SimpleFSDirectory:
>     Directory dir = new SimpleFSDirectory(index);
> 3. run this command:
>     ant clean test-core -Dtestcase=TestIndexWriter
> -Dtestmethod=testRandomStoredFields -Dtests.iter=10
> -Dtests.codec="MockVariableIntBlock(29)"
> {noformat}
