Error "Failed to process edge index task for entry 'JournalEntry" in atlassian-confluence.log

[Rilwan Ahmed]

In confluence 6.3.4, I see lots of below error in atlassian-confluence.log. Any particular reason for it  ?

I see similar problem reported in Failed to process edge index task, but We do not use Copy page tree by "Artemis Software". Instead we have Copy page tree by vendor "Imaginary Machines". 

Error Snippet:

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed, 

have you tried forcing a reindex in your Confluence instance ? this page describes how to do it.

Let me know if this helps,
