Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5588:
---------------------------------------
I tried it out: On Windows opening a FileChannel on a directory does not work
({{java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException}}), if there is still a file open inside
the directory.
This means we should "try to fsync" on the directory, but don't fail if it does
not work.
> We should also fsync the directory when committing

> Since we are on Java 7 now and we already fixed FSDir.sync to use FileChannel
> (LUCENE-5570), we can also fsync the directory (at least try to do it).
> Unlike RandomAccessFile, which must be a regular file, FileChannel.open() can
> also open a directory:
