Jim Ferenczi updated LUCENE-9300:
---------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement)
> Index corruption with doc values updates and addIndexes
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9300
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jim Ferenczi
> Priority: Major
>
> Today a doc values update creates a new field infos file that contains the
> original field infos updated for the new generation as well as the new fields
> created by the doc values update.
> However existing fields are cloned through the global fields (shared in the
> index writer) instead of the local ones (present in the segment). In practice
> this is not an issue since field numbers are shared between segments created
> by the same index writer. But this assumption doesn't hold for segments
> created by different writers and added through
> IndexWriter#addIndexes(Directory). In this case, the field number of the same
> field can differ between segments so any doc values update can corrupt the
> index by assigning the wrong field number to an existing field in the next
> generation.
> When this happens, queries and merges can access wrong fields without
> throwing any error, leading to a silent corruption in the index.
>
> Since segments are not guaranteed to have the same field number consistently
> we should ensure that doc values update preserves the segment's field number
> when rewriting field infos.
