Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2027:
-----------------------------------------
We talked about this yesterday night @ApacheCon. It would probably be the right
thing to deprecate and introduce a new method returning a boolean. For now we
where talking about throwing an IOException if setLastModified returns false.
The Directory interface already has an IOException in the function signature so
that would not break back compat but would yield the correct behaviour.
