Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5544:
------------------------------------
Apologies for the multiple comments -- what did you mean by {{// don't call
ensureOpen here: this acts like "close()" in closeable.}}? That the app can
call rollback() multiple times? Because currently it can't, since writeLock is
set to null by the first call and the second call w/ try to sync on a null
instance and hit NPE?
> exceptions during IW.rollback can leak files and locks

> Today, rollback() doesn't always succeed: if it does, it closes the writer
> nicely. otherwise, if it hits exception, it leaves you with a half-broken
> writer, still potentially holding file handles and write lock.
> This is especially bad if you use Native locks, because you are kind of
> hosed, the static map prevents you from forcefully unlocking (e.g.
> IndexWriter.unlock) so you have no real course of action to try to recover.
> If rollback() hits exception, it should still deliver the exception, but
> release things (e.g. like IOUtils.close).
