Sitecore Indexing Manager Not Opening: Throws Exception

Question

We upgraded from Sitecore 7.0 Initial (130424, April 24, 2013) to Sitecore 7.0 (130918, September 18, 2013)

The indexes I created in Initial no longer work in the new version. The old version which is still up correctly indexes and shows up.

This is what shows up in Initial.

Rebuild Time: 13 seconds
Approximate Throughput: 64 items per second
Has Deletions: False
Is Clean: False
Out of Date : False
Document Count : 838
Is Healthy : False
Number of Fields : 55
Last Updated : 12/3/2013
Number of Terms : -1

This is the exception we get below when attempting to open the Indexing Manager. The window that normally appears shows the below exception instead.

Attached is also a copy of the index config file in question.

Could not find add method: SetCommitPolicy (type: Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.SwitchOnRebuildLuceneIndex)

A ticket has also been created with Sitecore. Will include fix information if they have one.

Sitecore Index Exception from Sitecore 7.0 Indexing Manager

It sounds like older Sitecore DLLs are getting deployed and there is a mish-mash of versions - double check your references and version numbers (in your project as well as your final inetpub directory). Also watch out for changes in the config file - Sitecore changed the casing from TitleCase to pascalCase and it might mean that some of your changes are now getting merged to the wrong place. — Steve McGill

Changing these lines of code to the 2nd set of code fixed the issue. In Sitecore 7.0 Initial this code worked correctly but not in Sitecore 7.0 (130918).

<commitPolicy hint="raw:SetCommitPolicy">
   <policy type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.TimeIntervalCommitPolicy, Sitecore.ContentSearch" />
</commitPolicy>
<commitPolicyExecutor hint="raw:SetCommitPolicyExecutor">
   <policyExecutor type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.CommitPolicyExecutor, Sitecore.ContentSearch" />
</commitPolicyExecutor>

This code makes the index work correctly in Sitecore 7.0 (130918)

<commitPolicyExecutor type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.CommitPolicyExecutor, Sitecore.ContentSearch">
    <policies hint="list:AddCommitPolicy">
        <policy type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.TimeIntervalCommitPolicy, Sitecore.ContentSearch" />
    </policies>
</commitPolicyExecutor>
