> Currently when index is written to disk the following sequence of events is 
> taking place:
> * write segment file
> * sync segment file
> * write segment file
> * sync segment file
> ...
> * write list of segments
> * sync list of segments
> * rename list of segments
> * sync index directory
> This sequence leads to potential window of opportunity for system to crash 
> after 'rename list of segments' but before 'sync index directory' and 
> depending on exact filesystem implementation this may potentially lead to 
> 'list of segments' being visible in directory while some of the segments are 
> not.
> Solution to this is to sync index directory after all segments have been 
> written. [This 
> commit|https://github.com/mar-kolya/lucene-solr/commit/58e05dd1f633ab9b02d9e6374c7fab59689ae71c]
>  shows idea implemented. I'm fairly certain that I didn't find all the places 
> this may be potentially happening.
