Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2386:
--------------------------------------------
I think the patch is good Shai. I'd be curious what other tests rely on an
immediate commit on creating an index....
Maybe change testImmediateDiskFull to set max allowed size to max(1,
current-usage)? In case we change IW to write other stuff in the future on
create...
> IndexWriter commits unnecessarily on fresh Directory

> I've noticed IndexWriter's ctor commits a first commit (empty one) if a fresh
> Directory is passed, w/ OpenMode.CREATE or CREATE_OR_APPEND. This seems
> unnecessarily, and kind of brings back an autoCommit mode, in a strange way
> ... why do we need that commit? Do we really expect people to open an
> IndexReader on an empty Directory which they just passed to an IW w/
> create=true? If they want, they can simply call commit() right away on the IW
> they created.
> I ran into this when writing a test which committed N times, then compared
> the number of commits (via IndexReader.listCommits) and was surprised to see
> N+1 commits.
> Tried to change doCommit to false in IW ctor, but it got IndexFileDeleter
> jumping on me .. so the change might not be that simple. But I think it's
> manageable, so I'll try to attack it (and IFD specifically !) back :).
