             Summary: add safety to preflex segmentinfo "upgrade"
                 Key: LUCENE-4128
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4128
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Robert Muir


Currently the one-time-upgrade depends on whether the upgraded .si file exists. 
And the writing is done in a try/finally so its removed if ioexception happens.

but I think there could be a power-loss or something else in the middle of 
this, the upgraded .si file could be bogus, then the user would have to 
manually remove it (they probably wouldnt know).

i think instead we should just have a marker file on completion, that we create 
after we successfully fsync the upgraded .si file. this way if something 
happens we just rewrite the thing.
