Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-3564:
------------------------------------

Sorry, I was confused with the IfNeeded from LUCENE-3454. But I don't like 
'IfChanged' too :). I think that should be part of the javadocs.

Here's a proposal -- if we think our users find these names confusing, why 
don't we do a poll on java-user and get people to vote on whether they find 
these names confusing? Because it looks to me like it's a flavor thing - some 
of us prefer to read javadocs while others prefer methods names that tell us 
what they do, without reading javadocs.

I don't find that openIfChanged saves me from reading the javadocs, because I 
still need to read them in order to know what will be returned if the reader 
hasn't changed.

> Spinoff from LUCENE-3454, where Shai noticed that rollback is trappy since it 
> [unexpected] closes the IW.
> I think we should rename it to rollbackAndClose.
