Hi Bill,

It looks like the Lucene file may have been corrupted, hence the mentioned error occured. Please note that it shouldn't be possible for you to copy the indexes data from one JIRA instance, to be used by another instance.

Anyway as an attemp to fix the problem, can you kindly try the following:
- Shut down JIRA
- Go to $JIRA_HOME/caches directory
- Remove the indexes folder and it's content
- Startup JIRA
- Perform full reindexing by going to Administration > Indexing

I hope that this will help!
