[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-2762) Don't leak deleted open file handles with pooled readers

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2762?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-2762:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2762.patch

Patch.

I made a new test case showing the problem (and also modified a
pre-existing test case to also show the problem).  Patch includes the
fix (I don't commit the merged segment until after the CFS is built)
and both tests now pass.

I also added a new core test utility class (LineFileDocs) that's able
to read line files produced by contrib/benchmark, and the new test
uses this to index the line for Wikipedia.  I think we should somehow
mark this test to run only at night on hudson eg with a new @nightly
tag or something... it's already disabled if it can't find the line
file, though it's now hardwired to the line file location in my env.

In general I think our tests should sometimes use "real" data so if we
can get this wikipedia line file in a standard place on hudson then
longer-running @nightly tests can use it...

> If you have CFS enabled today, and pooling is enabled (either directly
> or because you've pulled an NRT reader), IndexWriter will hold open
> SegmentReaders against the non-CFS format of each merged segment.
> So even if you close all NRT readers you've pulled from the writer,
> you'll still see file handles open against files that have been
> deleted.
> This count will not grow unbounded, since it's limited by the number
> of segments in the index, but it's still a serious problem since the
> app had turned off CFS in the first place presumably to avoid risk of
> too-many-open-files.  It's also bad because it ties up disk space
> since these files would otherwise be deleted.
