How to corrupt index

[Robert Haycock <Ro...@artificial-solutions.com>]

Hi,

 

We seem to have an occasional problem where our lucene index gets out of
sync. We start to see ItemNotFoundException's. An index rebuild fixes
the problem.

 

We are having a hard time figuring out what is causing this. Is it
system problems taking down our web container? Is it our code? Is it a
bug?

 

I've tried creating a series of tests to reproduce the problem locally
without success. It only occurs on our servers with large repositories.

 

I would appreciate some suggestions as to what typically causes these
exceptions and how to reproduce.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob.
