> It's an intermittant failure that only happens when multiple threads
> are calling commit() at once. With autoComit=true and
> ConcurrentMergeScheduler, this can happen more often because each
> merge thread calls commit after it's done.
> The problem happens when one thread has already begun the commit
> process, but another two or more threads then come along wanting to
> also commit after further changes have happened. Those two or more
> threads would wait until the currently committing thread finished, and
> then they'd wake up and do their commit. The problem was, after
> waking up they would fail to check whether they had been superseded,
> ie whether another thread had already committed more up-to-date
> changes.
> The fix is simple -- after waking up, check again if your commit has
> been superseded, and skip your commit if so.
