[Building Sakai] Search warnings

[Matthew Jones]

I was having similar looking errors in my 2.5 QA server a few weeks
ago that I was never able to fully resolve. I was tracking this SAK
(http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-13127), one that made the cut
into 2.6.0 even though it isn't marked as such. The workarounds on it
"remove the indexwork directories on each restart" seem to make the
error go away, and theres also the patch on the SAK. However  for some
reason even if I did that my server started to automatically shutdown
within a short time for no apparent reason. That might not have been
related to search or removing that directory, but I don't know.

Everything would start up and run great, then I'd log off and
everything after a random (usually short ~30 minute period)
INFO: Local Merge Operation

teOperation)

INFO: Stopping service Catalina (2009-07-09 12:16:46,212 Thread-40_org.apache.ca
talina.core.StandardService)

What I probably should have done looking back was try to drop all of
the search_ tables, delete all of the search directories and recreate
them fresh. What I did instead (since this was just a QA server) was
to drop everything and start fresh to save time because I didn't see
any jiras about that tomcat issue. ;) That does seem a little extreme
though.

I haven't seen these happen on the 2.6 QA yet, which is good news.
