> What are the typical scenarios when the index will go corrupt? Dodgy disks.
> E.g. can a simple JVM crash during indexing will cause it? No. See the javadocs for IndexWriter. > What are the best way to minimalize the possibility of corrupt index?

Or just make sure you've got a backup, or can easily recreate your index from scratch. -- Ian. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
