We rebooted a machine, and the permissions on the external drive where the index was stored had changed. We didn't realize it immediately, because searches were working and updates were not throwing errors back to the client.
These ended up in catalina.out Apr 22, 2009 11:57:12 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log SEVERE: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /vol/CDJL-13578/index/_kw.fdt (Permission denied) This is because of autocommit. None of the update requests were returning 500s or 403s because Solr hadn't tried to commit yet. So the client thought everything was groovy. Now, the index cannot update, even though the perms are fixed. We now get an error like this: Apr 23, 2009 11:51:05 PM org.apache.solr.update.DirectUpdateHandler2$CommitTracker run SEVERE: auto commit error... java.io.FileNotFoundException: /vol/CDJL-13578/index/_kq_1.del (No such file or directory) Is there anything we can do to salvage the situation?
