Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4246:
--------------------------------------------

Maybe we could rename the current "close" to "commitAndClose", which would wait 
on merges (maybe take a boolean to instead abort merges), commit changes, close 
(for the simplicty/convenience for basic apps).

And then "close" simply closes.

The only issue is this is a trappy migration path for apps ... if they miss the 
back-compat-break advertisement that IW.close no longer commits then they 
silently lose changes.
