CheckIndex for the rescue

While using Lucene and Solr we are used to a very high reliability of this products. However, there may come the day when Solr will inform us that our index is corrupted, and we need to do something about it. Is the only way to repair the index is to restore it from the backup or do full indexation ? Not only – there is hope in the form of CheckIndex tool.

What is CheckIndex ?

CheckIndex is a tool available in the Lucene library, which allows you to check the files and create new segments that do not contain problematic entries. This means that this tool, with little loss of data is able to repair a broken index, and thus save us from having to restore the index from the backup (of course if we have it) or do the full indexing of all documents that were stored in Solr.
