Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3872:
-------------------------------------
I don't have a better fix, but at the same time i feel you should be able to
close() at any time,
(such as when handling exceptions in your app), since we are a real closeable
here.
> Index changes are lost if you call prepareCommit() then close()

> You are supposed to call commit() after calling prepareCommit(), but... if
> you forget, and call close() after prepareCommit() without calling commit(),
> then any changes done after the prepareCommit() are silently lost (including
> adding/deleting docs, but also any completed merges).
> Spinoff from java-user thread "lots of .cfs (compound files) in the index
> directory" from Tim Bogaert.
> I think to fix this, IW.close should throw an IllegalStateException if
> prepareCommit() was called with no matching call to commit().
