when checking tvx/fdx size mismatch, also include whether the file exists

                 Key: LUCENE-1869
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1869
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 2.9


IndexWriter checks, during flush and during merge, that the size of the index 
file for stored fields (*.fdx) and term vectors (*.tvx) matches how many bytes 
it has just written.

This originally was added for LUCENE-1282, ie, as a safety to catch the nasty 
"off by 1" JRE hotspot bug that would otherwise silently corrupt the index.

However, this check also seems to catch a different case, where the size of the 
file is zero.   The most recent example is LUCENE-1521.  I'd like to improve 
the message in the exception to include whether or not the file exists, to help 
understand why users are sometimes hitting this exception.  My best theory at 
this point is something external is removing the file out from under the 
IndexWriter.
