Lucene 2.2.0 in 64-bit JVM: IndexReader is hung

[Venkat Rangan]

Hi,

 

We have an application using Lucene 2.2.0 running in a Sun HotSpot JVM,
with JDK 1.6.0. We have had no problems with it in the 32-bit version of
the JVM. We recently upgraded to 64-bit JVM and occasionally, we are
observing a hang. In particular, the stack trace looks like this - the
RandomAccessFile.read() does not return ever - multiple stack traces are
hung on this, pointing to no bytes available to read for specific hits
returned by the searcher. We are aware of issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1262 which has a similar
stack trace. Is this a known problem or issue?

The call is something like:

 

              try {

                  IndexReader indexReader = getLuIndexReader();

                  if (indexReader.isDeleted(docId) || docId >=
indexReader.maxDoc())

                        return null;

                  lu_Document = lu_indexReader.document(docId);

                  return lu_Document;

              } catch (IOException e) {

                  ...

  }

Thanks,
