> Here's my response on that thread:
> The bug only happens when you call addIndexesNoOptimize, and one
> simple workaround would be to use SerialMergeScheduler.
> I think this is already fixed in trunk (soonish to be 2.4) as a side
> effect of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1335.
> In 2.3, merges that involve external segments (which are segments
> folded in by addIndexesNoOptimize) are not supposed to run in a BG
> thread.  This is to prevent addIndexesNoOptimize from returning until
> after all external segments have been carried over (merged or copied)
> into the index, so that if there is an exception (eg disk full),
> addIndexesNoOptimize is able to rollback to the index to the starting
> point.
> The primary merge() method of CMS indeed does not BG any external
> merges, but the bug is that when a BG merge finishes it then selects a
> new merge to kick off and that selection is happy to pick an external
> segment.
