IndexWriter does not do the right thing when a Thread is interrupt()'d
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1573
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1573
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4, 2.3.2, 2.3.1, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0.0, 1.9
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.9


Spinoff from here:

    
http://www.nabble.com/Deadlock-with-concurrent-merges-and-IndexWriter--Lucene-2.4--to22714290.html

When a Thread is interrupt()'d while inside Lucene, there is a risk currently 
that it will cause a spinloop and starve BG merges from completing.

Instead, when possible, we should allow interruption.  But unfortunately for 
back-compat, we will need to wrap the exception in an unchecked version.  In 
3.0 we can change that to simply throw InterruptedException.
