Lucene in Action: Debugging Indexing

[Luis Enrique León]

Hi,

I´ve seen in the TOC, in Chapter 2, a section named "Debugging Indexing": Which possible errors may occur in the indexing process that would require to be debugged?

Regards,

IO errors (disk full, permission problems, etc.). It's remotely possible you've hit a bug (and then I'll be very interested in the infoStream output!). Also, if you're just curious about the inner workings of IndexWriter (when it flushes, what the RAM efficiency for the segment was, when & what merges are running, etc.), it's fun to turn on.

...a nice tool you can use to inspect the index is Luke

Luke is a handy development and diagnostic tool, which accesses already existing
Lucene indexes and allows you to display and modify their content in several ways...

Cheers,

Gian
