             Summary: Unexpected merge exceptions should be tragic to 
IndexWriter
                 Key: LUCENE-6579
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6579
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 5.3, Trunk


Today our behavior is weird: we will fail the merge (which is running in a 
background thread if you are using the default CMS), pause for 1.0 seconds, and 
then the next chance we get, kick off the merge again.

I think this is a poor default, e.g. on disk full we will just keep "trying" 
and filling up disk again, wasting IO/CPU.

I think IW should declare this a tragedy instead?
