Re-indexing fails

[nrubdarb]

Hi,

I recently had a problem where files were not being indexed in the background, so I decided to force re-indexing with

index.recovery.mode=FULL‍

in the

custom-repository.properties‍

file. I also moved the old lucene index folder out of the way, as is I believe correct.

On re-starting Alfresco, however, the re-indexing process only gets to 10%, and then it fails catastrophically, printing pages of errors, followed by the information from Tomcat that the Alfresco context (/alfresco) cannot be started.

Here is the beginning of my Alfresco (Tomcat) startup. I can deliver more if required, but am having to cut and paste from the terminal, since Tomcat is not logging this in catalina.out for some reason (if anyone knows how to change that, that would also be useful!).

Try adding stack. See if you get this error with the -Xss1m parameter and work your way down. If it fails at ! meg then the stack issue is a symptom and not the problem.

(right click the apache icon, go to the Java tab on Apache Tomcat Properties, and add -Xss1m in the Java Options field. My java options  looks like this (YMMV):

Two comments:

1) it seems you are using the default DB install (hsql). If this is the case, note that this is just for demo purpose and not for "operations". Try moving to mysql first and see if this solves the problem

2) Look at a possible cyclic references that generates the infinite lookup. If this is the case, then look why this cyclic ref is there. This is the problem.

Hi,
I have faced the same problem and changed index.recovery.mode=FULL to index.recovery.mode=VALIDATE. It's working properly now.

I had the same problem with version 2.9.0, running Apache Tomcat on Fedora Linux.   Based on the above description, I added the following environment variable to my profile and FULL reindexing was then successfully completed on next startup:

CATALINA_OPTS='-server -Xms100m -Xmx512m -Xss1m -Xmn10m'

Thanks for this recommendation!
