I am using the Berkeley DB JE to simulate an inverted index. When my
program inserts data into Berkeley DB beyond a certain point (10000
tuples or so), I get the following error while closing the environment
:

Exception in thread "main" com.sleepycat.je.RunRecoveryException:
Exception performing checkpoint: com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException:
java.lang.NullPointerException

infoSearch.berkeleyDB.SearchDictionary.close(Dicti onary.java:76)

infoSearch.berkeleyDB.DocumentIndexer.main(Diction ary.java:146)


I'm perplexed, because it works fine, without any exception when I
insert lesser tuples.

Any help will be appreciated.

Earlywater,

We're not seeing the original stack trace here, just the exception
message. So I'll need to give you an intrumented version of JE in
order to find the cause of the problem. Could you please send a
message to support (AT) sleepycat (DOT) com so that we can correspond over email
to troubleshoot this problem?
