My JVM (1.6.0_29) keeps crashing on intensive use when indexing documents with Lucene. I get:
# # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002b6b196d767c, pid=26417, tid=1183217984 # # JRE version: 6.0_29-b11 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.4-b02 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Problematic frame: # J org.apache.lucene.store.DataInput.readVInt()I # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Environment: JDK: 1.6u29 (same issue with 1.6_02) Lucene Version 3.4.0 vm_info: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.4-b02) for linux-amd64 JRE (1.6.0_29-b11), built on Oct 3 2011 01:19:20 by "java_re" with gcc 3.2.2 (SuSE Linux) OS:CentOS release 5.0 (Final) jvm_args: -Dcatalina.home=/var/local/tomcat-8081 -Dcatalina.base=/var/local/tomcat-8081 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=96m It seems to be a jdk issue that was fixed in jdk 1.7, but other issues where introduced. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3335 "Java 7 contains a fix to the readVInt issue since 1.6.0_21 (approx, LUCENE-2975)" So, how can I fix this issue using JDK 1.6? Should I upgrade to jdk 1.7? Thanks, Roberto
