             Summary: TransactionLog.next() does not honor contract and return null for EOF
                 Key: SOLR-8292
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8292
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Erick Erickson


This came to light in CDCR testing, which stresses this code a lot, there's a stack trace showing this line (641 trunk) throwing an EOF exception:

o = codec.readVal(fis);

At first I thought to just wrap reading fis in a try/catch and return null, but looking at the code a bit more I'm not so sure, that seems like it'd mask what looks at first glance like a bug in the logic.

A few lines earlier (633-4) there's these lines:
// shouldn't currently happen - header and first record are currently written at the same time
if (fis.position() >= fos.size()) {

Why are we comparing the position of the input file position against the size of the output file? Maybe because the 'i' key is right next to the 'o' key? The comment hints that it's checking for the ability to read the first record in input stream along with the header. And perhaps there's a different issue here because the expectation clearly is that the first record should be there if the header is.

So what's the right thing to do? Wrap in a try/catch and return null for EOF? Change the test? Do both?

I can take care of either, but wanted a clue whether the comparison of fis to fos is intended.
