Make FSDirectory.fsync() public and static
------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-3230
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3230
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core/store
Reporter: Shai Erera
Assignee: Shai Erera
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.3, 4.0
I find FSDirectory.fsync() (today protected and instance method) very useful as
a utility to sync() files. I'd like create a FSDirectory.sync() utility which
contains the exact same impl of FSDir.fsync(), and have the latter call it. We
can have it part of IOUtils too, as it's a completely standalone utility.
I would get rid of FSDir.fsync() if it wasn't protected (as if encouraging
people to override it). I doubt anyone really overrides it (our core
Directories don't).
Also, while reviewing the code, I noticed that if IOE occurs, the code sleeps
for 5 msec. If an InterruptedException occurs then, it immediately throws
ThreadIE, completely ignoring the fact that it slept due to IOE. Shouldn't we
at least pass IOE.getMessage() on ThreadIE?
The patch is trivial, so I'd like to get some feedback before I post it.
