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

                 Key: LUCENE-1274
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1274
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Index
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0.0, 1.9
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4


Currently when IndexWriter commits, it does so with a two-phase
commit, internally: first it prepares all the new index files, syncs
them; then it writes a new segments_N file and syncs that, and only if
that is successful does it remove any now un-referenced index files.

However, these two phases are done privately, internal to the commit()
method.

But when Lucene is involved in a transaction with external resources
(eg a database), it's very useful to explicitly break out the prepare
phase from the commit phase.
