------------------------------------
One other comment -- I think you can move the newIWC call to inside the 'if (w
== null)'.
> Deletes may be silently lost if disk fills up and then frees up

> This case is tricky to handle, yet I think realistic: disk fills up
> temporarily, causes an exception in writeLiveDocs, and then the app
> keeps using the IW instance.
> Meanwhile disk later frees up again, IW is closed "successfully". In
> certain cases, we can silently lose deletes in this case.
> I had already committed
> TestIndexWriterDeletes.testNoLostDeletesOnDiskFull, and Jenkins seems
> happy with it so far, but when I added fangs to the test (cutover to
> RandomIndexWriter from IndexWriter, allow IOE during getReader, add
> randomness to when exc is thrown, etc.), it uncovered some real/nasty
> bugs:
> * ReaderPool.dropAll was suppressing any exception it hit, because
> {code}if (priorE != null){code} should instead be {code}if (priorE ==
> null){code}
> * After a merge, we have to write deletes before committing the
> segment, because an exception when writing deletes means we need
> to abort the merge
> * Several places that were directly calling deleter.checkpoint must
> also increment the changeCount else on close IW thinks there are
> no changes and doesn't write a new segments file.
> * closeInternal was dropping pooled readers after writing the
> segments file, which would lose deletes still buffered due to a
> previous exc.
