Could you please let me the cause for these exceptions

Looks like your index is broken.

Try running a full re-index, after checking that the directory you've told it to use is fully read/write for the user that you are running Jira as.

Hi Mehala,

You might want to delete the 'caches' folder, then restarting your instance and running a full re-index of your JIRA instance. This would re-create the indexes (as well as the folders involved with it) of your instance.

Thanks Joe.It works good now.I ran Re-Index by Lock JIRA option.

BTW, I tried this 4.2 to 5.2 upgrade with empty database(without my 4.2 version Database data).There was 2 Mail options 1.Incoming 2.Outgoing.But After did inplace upgrade (connecting to database which has 4.2 data) I see only Incoming mail option.Could you please clarify me on this?

Thank you.

There are 2 option I see for reindexing

1.BackGround Reindex

2.Lock JIRA and rebuild index

Can you please explain about these 2 types and which should I choose to perfomr re-index ?

Hi Mehala,

For background re-index, the re-index is, well, performed in the background, and you'll still be able to use your JIRA as usual. Some functionalities that require the use of the indexes might be affected, though

On the other hand, if you lock JIRA and rebuild the index, it will make all of your users unable to access JIRA, while it rebuilds your index. This method will require some downtime to be scheduled, but it might be finished faster compared with the background re-index.
