Issue
A SegmentNotFoundException is observed in the log files. Restarting AEM makes the error go away for one day (or longer).
For example:
29.09.2017 05:40:27.031 *ERROR* [10.40.228.155 [1506663627021] GET /services/createvaultpackage HTTP/1.1] org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.segment.SegmentNotFoundExceptionListener Segment not found: 6c3c7910-6501-4c0a-af5d-6972006c6145.

Environment
AEM 6.3 and later versions with Online Compaction enabled
Cause
It can be caused due to long running JCR sessions along with online compaction.
Resolution
Avoid keeping JCR sessions open for a long time. To resolve the issue:
- Close the session and open a new one when required.
- Or periodically call session.refresh(true).
See this article for more details on the topic of long running sessions being an anti-pattern in AEM 6.x.
