Hi Olivier, You have shutdown hooks for read-only operations. They won't corrupt your index. I'd add shutdown hooks for IndexWriter. If that fixes your problem, it would be great if you could add your shutdown hook code to the FAQ on the Wiki, or at least post it to java-user, so somebody else can put it there.

Hi all, We are using the last version of lucene (1.9.1), and sometimes we end up with such error when opening one of the index our application uses: java.io.FileNotFoundException: [...]/LuceneIndex/_ 46.fnm (No such file or directory) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method) at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(RandomAccessFile.java:204) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSIndexInput$Descriptor.<init>(FSDirectory.java:425) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSIndexInput.<init>(FSDirectory.java:434) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.openInput(FSDirectory.java:324) at org.apache.lucene.index.FieldInfos.<init>(FieldInfos.java:56) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.initialize(SegmentReader.java:144) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.get(SegmentReader.java:129) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.get(SegmentReader.java:110) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader$1.doBody(IndexReader.java:154) at org.apache.lucene.store.Lock$With.run(Lock.java:109) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(IndexReader.java:143) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(IndexReader.java:138) The only solution available in this case being to completely remove and recreate the index. I have the "corrupted" index available for testing should you need it. Apparently this corruption occurs if the JVM has crashed or was shutdown too violently (kill -9) I was wondering how a corruption of a lucene index could occur and how to prevent it, fix it on reopening or in a last resort, detect it to be able to recreate the index. Note that I already have that kind of hook in the code for shutdown: // clean writer reader and searcher correctly Thread shutdown = new Thread() { public void run() { if (reader != null) { try { reader.close(); } catch (IOException ex){ /*empty*/ } reader = null; } if (searcher != null) { try { searcher.close(); } catch (IOException ex){ /*empty*/ } searcher = null; } } }; Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdown); Or, on opening, code such as: Directory indexDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(luceneDir, !IndexReader.indexExists(luceneDir)); IndexReader.unlock(indexDir); // unlock directory in case of unproper shutdown if (!IndexReader.indexExists(luceneDir)) { writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, analyzer, true); writer.close(); } Any suggestion or remark?
