Hi, I have a question about IndexWriter.close(false) and background merges. I was going to take a look at the code, but I'm sure that Mike knows the answer :-). Let's assume that a long background merge is going on and close(false) is called. Then the merges are marked as aborted and IndexWriter.close() returns after flushing DocumentsWriter's buffers. The background merge threads keep going. Now a new IndexWriter is opened and optimize() is called. Can it happen that optimize() tries to create a segment with the same name the background threads are still working on? Then the new IndexWriter would probably hit an IOException? Or would the new IndexWriter use different file names for the merged segments?
