[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-5160) NIOFSDirectory, SimpleFSDirectory (others?) don't properly handle valid file and FileChannel read conditions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13733865#comment-13733865 ] 

Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5160:
---------------------------------------

This is a bug, which never is hit by lucene because we never read sequentially until end of file.

+1 to fix this. Theoretically to comply with MMapDirectory it should throw EOFException if it gets -1, because Lucene code should not read beyond file end.

> Around line 190 of NIOFSDirectory, the loop to read in bytes doesn't properly handle the -1 condition that can be returned from FileChannel.read().  If it returns -1, then it will move the file pointer back and you will enter an infinite loop.  SimpleFSDirectory displays the same characteristics, although I have only seen the issue on NIOFSDirectory.
> The code in question from NIOFSDirectory:
> {code}
> try {
>         while (readLength > 0) {
>           final int limit;
>           if (readLength > chunkSize) {
>             // LUCENE-1566 - work around JVM Bug by breaking
>             // very large reads into chunks
>             limit = readOffset + chunkSize;
>           } else {
>             limit = readOffset + readLength;
>           }
>           bb.limit(limit);
>           int i = channel.read(bb, pos);
>           pos += i;
>           readOffset += i;
>           readLength -= i;
>         }
> {code}
