-----------------------------------

             Summary: If IndexWriter is interrupted on close and is using a 
channel (mmap/nio), it can throw a ClosedByInterruptException and prevent you 
from opening a new IndexWriter in the same proceses if you are using Native 
locks.
                 Key: LUCENE-4638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4638
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Mark Miller
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 4.1, 5.0


The ClosedByInterruptException will prevent the index from being unlocked in 
close. If you try and close again, the call will hang. If you are using native 
locks and try to open a new IndexWriter, it will fail to get the lock. If you 
try IW#forceUnlock, it wont work because the not fully closed IW will still 
have the lock.

ideas:
* On ClosedByInterruptException, IW should continue trying to close what it can 
and unlock the index? Generally I have see the exception trigger in 
commitInternal.
* We should add a non static forceUnlock to IW that lets you remove the lock 
and start a new IW?
* We should make the lock protected so IW sub classes could unlock the index in 
advanced use cases?
* others?
