Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3230:
--------------------------------------------

OK, I think close this issue, and open another (to switch to syncing the actual 
IOs we opened)... this will be a challenge for Lucene though.

> Make FSDirectory.fsync() public and static

> 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.
