---------------------------------------
Hi another issue:
In FSIndexOutput:
{code:java}
file.getFD().sync();
{code}
This does not do the for-loop we currently do to repeat the fsync 5 times if it
fails. We should maybe add this here, too. Also, I would not remove
Directory.sync(), we should maybe leave this for LUCENE-5588 to sync the
directory itsself. But the method signature would change in any case.
> FSDirectory.fsync() may not work properly

> Spinoff from LUCENE-3230. FSDirectory.fsync() opens a new RAF, sync() its
> FileDescriptor and closes RAF. It is not clear that this syncs whatever was
> written to the file by other FileDescriptors. It would be better if we do
> this operation on the actual RAF/FileOS which wrote the data. We can add
> sync() to IndexOutput and FSIndexOutput will do that.
> Directory-wise, we should stop syncing on file names, and instead sync on the
> IOs that performed the write operations.
