Method Main

Command-line interface to check and fix an index.

Run it like this:

java -ea:Lucene.Net... Lucene.Net.Index.CheckIndex pathToIndex [-fix] [-segment X] [-segment Y]

WARNING: -fix should only be used on an emergency basis as it will cause documents (perhaps many) to be permanently removed from the index. Always make a backup copy of your index before running this! Do not run this tool on an index that is actively being written to. You have been warned!

Run without -fix, this tool will open the index, report version information and report any exceptions it hits and what action it would take if -fix were specified. With -fix, this tool will remove any segments that have issues and write a new segments_N file. This means all documents contained in the affected segments will be removed.

This tool exits with exit code 1 if the index cannot be opened or has any corruption, else 0.
