index is screwed

Hi!

We have a test server on which we are running an application based on
Jackrabbit 1.0 (and others). From time to time we are updating the
deployed application, but immediately after a restart we are seeing a
set of exceptions related to Lucene indexes.
It is completely unclear to me why this is happening. Has anybody seen
this? We know that currently we can solve this problem by deleting the
content of the index subdirectory, but in the long run this represents
a very big problem because we will have more things to do in case we
want to automate the server restart after a crash.

So, I would be very interested to find out why this error is occuring
and what would be the solution for it.

As always, any ideas, hints, pointers are highly appreciated. I have
searched the ML, but couldn't find something pointing to a solution
(and most of the problems where due to updates of the jackrabbit
version and not simply between server restarts).

If you need more information, just let me know and I will try to
provide it right away.

Once again thanks in advance for your help,

We haven't identify a pattern to reproduce this problem. And about the
stack... the admins decided to flush the logs, so I will keep it under
observation till it comes back (maybe it will not :-) ).

If you use another application with JackRabbit do you have the same issues?

I definitely need the exception stack to help you

Lucene is thread safe so the issue shouldn't come from here.

I hoped so :-).

We are just doing some queries (using the normal API). Indeed they are
very complex, but this should not influence things.

Also, we have thought that maybe the upgrade (so the server stop)
would have happened right in the middle of an indexing process, but
this hypothesis was immediately dismissed as we don't input too much
data and definitely not at that moment.

Nope. The exception doesn't show up in this scenario.

I will ask the admins to llook for the exception and I will try to
provide it (that's the reason why I haven't posted it in the first
place).

Hi Alexandru,

If you do not update your application and restart JackRabbit, do you have
the error?

Can you please send us the exception stack?
