Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8415:
-------------------------------------
you could also do no bookkeeping and simply pay the cost of more renames,
right? Currently only the segments_N is written atomically like this. But
writing to a temp file and then renaming at the end is pretty easy to
understand, lots of applications do it.

> https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/424
> I changed:
> * the wording in Directory documentation to be a bit more formalized about
> what rules a Directory should obey (and users expect).
> * modified the test framework to verify the above in mock classes.
> Currently a number of Directory implementations fail the
> {{testReadFileOpenForWrites}} test that I added, so I'll keep working on that.
