Hey there,
I have a doubt about the behaviour of IndexReader.reopen.
I have a tomcat server holding a lucene index over an IndexSearcher. If I
move the index.folder to index.folder.old and another index, let's say
index.folder.2 to index.folder and then I reopen readers, something weird
happen if the first index and the second have very similar size and are
built from scratch. It seems that when I get the new reader and compare with
the new one:
IndexReader reader = ...
...
IndexReader newReader = r.reopen();
if (newReader != reader) {
... // reader was reopened
reader.close();
}
reader = newReader;
...
Lucene does not detect that are different indexes.
Here you can see both indexes (have same number of files and names are
similar, but sizes are a bit different, as contained documents are not
exactly the same).
*This does not happen if indexes have much more differents sizes (and so,
file names will not be equal, ex: _4.fdt, etc)
Index1:
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 269289634 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fdt
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 2066764 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fdx
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 463 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fnm

-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 20 15 Jun 15:52 segments.gen
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 298 15 Jun 15:52 segments_2
Index2:
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 269044254 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fdt
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 2068116 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fdx
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 463 15 Jun 15:52 _3.fnm
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 40320465 15 Jun 15:52 _3.frq
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 1034060 15 Jun 15:52 _3.nrm
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 26967519 15 Jun 15:52 _3.prx
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 235895 15 Jun 15:52 _3.tii
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 19372446 15 Jun 15:52 _3.tis
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 20 15 Jun 15:52 segments.gen
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc admin 298 15 Jun 15:52 segments_2
Can someone explain me the lucene criteria to decide if a segment has
changed or not?
Thanks in advance.
