I was trying to build a lucene index (Lucene 2.0, JDK 5) with approximately 150000 documents containing about 25 fields for each document. After indexing about 45000 documents , the program crashed. It was running as a batch job and did not log the cause of the crash. In order to identify why the process crashed, I restarted the job about 50 documents before the crash point so that I can identify the problem. At this point, the program first tries to delete the document if it's already present in the index and then adds it. As soon as I start the program, the program aborts with a StackOverflowError while calling indexreader.deleteDocuments(new Term()) method (even for the document that was indexed earlier). Here is the partial stacktrace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError at java.lang.ref.Reference.<init>(Reference.java:207) at java.lang.ref.WeakReference.<init>(WeakReference.java:40) at java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap$Entry.<init>(ThreadLocal.java:240) at java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap$Entry.<init>(ThreadLocal.java:235) at java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap.getAfterMiss(ThreadLocal.java:375) at java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap.get(ThreadLocal.java:347) at java.lang.ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap.access$000(ThreadLocal.java:225) at java.lang.ThreadLocal.get(ThreadLocal.java:127) at org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.getEnum(TermInfosReader.java:79) at org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.get(TermInfosReader.java:139) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentTermDocs.seek(SegmentTermDocs.java:50) at org.apache.lucene.index.MultiTermDocs.termDocs(MultiReader.java:392) at org.apache.lucene.index.MultiTermDocs.next(MultiReader.java:348) at org.apache.lucene.index.MultiTermDocs.next(MultiReader.java:349) The last line [at org.apache.lucene.index.MultiTermDocs.next(MultiReader.java:349)] repeats another 1010 times before the program crashes. I understand that without the actual index or the documents, it's nearly impossible to narrow down the cause of the error. However, can you please point to any theoretical reason why org.apache.lucene.index.MultiTermDocs.next will go into an infinite loop? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
