Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-6835:
---------------------------------------
    Attachment: LUCENE-6835.patch

Tentative initial patch, but there are problems.

I removed IFD's hairy code about retrying deletes (yay!), and moved it
down into FSDirectory, so it now becomes a Directory impl's job to
"deal with" finicky filesystems that prevent deletion of open files.

I also changed Directory.deleteFile to Directory.deleteFiles, so
"revisit pending deletions" is less O(N^2).

The big problem with the patch now is I completely disabled MDW's
virus/open-file checker, because we are no longer allowed to "fake" a
virus checker in a Directory wrapper (since it's now Directory's job
to do retries on deletes) ... I think to move forward w/ this approach
we must also re-implement the virus checker "down low" inside Mock FS

Some tests are still angry because they rely on MDW's not deleting
still open files ...


> Directory.deleteFile should "own" retrying deletions on Windows

> Rob's idea:
> Today, we have hairy logic in IndexFileDeleter to deal with Windows file 
> systems that cannot delete still open files.
> And with LUCENE-6829, where OfflineSorter now must deal with the situation 
> too ... I worked around it by fixing all tests to disable the virus checker.
> I think it makes more sense to push this "platform specific problem" lower in 
> the stack, into Directory?  I.e., its deleteFile method would catch the 
> access denied, and then retry the deletion later.  Then we could re-enable 
> virus checker on all these tests, simplify IndexFileDeleter, etc.
> Maybe in the future we could further push this down, into WindowsDirectory,  
> and fix FSDirectory.open to return WindowsDirectory on windows ...
