> Since 3.0.x/3.6.x (see LUCENE-5541), Lucene has substantially removed
> its reliance on fileExists to the point where I think we can fully
> remove it now.
> Like the other iffy IO methods we've removed over time (touchFile,
> fileModified, seeking back during write, ...), File.exists is
> dangerous because a low level IO issue can cause it to return false
> when it should have returned true. The fewer IO operations we rely on
> the more reliable/portable Lucene is.
