>                 Key: SOLR-2801
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2801
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: search
>    Affects Versions: 3.4
>            Reporter: Ruben Inoto
>            Priority: Trivial

> If the directory where the index is stored gets somehow corrupted, and it becomes empty or the segments files are deleted, any attempt to access the Solr server (via /select, /update, etc..) will throw the following exception:
> {code}
> org.apache.lucene.index.IndexNotFoundException: no segments* file found in org.apache.lucene.store.NIOFSDirectory@/index_dir
> {code}
> The only workaround we have found is to stop the server, remove the /index directory, and start again.
> We have found more useful to create a new implementation of the IndexReaderFactory (that extends StandardIndexReaderFactory), that, in case of a IndexNotFoundException, it tries to "fix" the index directory by opening an IndexWriter on it and doing a commit:
> {code}
>     @Override
>     public IndexReader newReader(Directory indexDir, boolean readOnly) throws IOException {
>         try {
>             return super.newReader(indexDir, readOnly);
>         } catch (IndexNotFoundException e) {
>             logger.warn(
>                     "Warning: Trying to get a new reader threw an exception. Trying to create a writer first, and then get the reader",
>                     e);
>             IndexWriterConfig config = new IndexWriterConfig(Version.LUCENE_34, new WhitespaceAnalyzer(
>                     Version.LUCENE_34));
>             config.setOpenMode(OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND);
>             IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, config);
>             writer.commit();
>             writer.close();
>             try {
>                 return super.newReader(indexDir, readOnly);
>             } catch (IndexNotFoundException e2) {
>                 logger.error(
>                         "Trying to commit in the writer didn't work, as the reader is still throwing an exception :(. Re-throwing exception",
>                         e2);
>                 throw e2;
>             }
>         }
>     }
> {code}
> Would it make sense to add something like this to the StandardIndexReaderFactory?
