             Summary: Potential exception in TermInfosWriter#initialize() 
swallowed makes debugging hard
                 Key: LUCENE-4855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4855
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core/index
    Affects Versions: 3.6.2
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Chris Gioran


TermInfosWriter#initialize() can potentially fail with an exception when trying 
to write any of the values in the try block. If that happens the finally clause 
will be called and that may also fail during close(). This exception will mask 
the original one potentially hiding the real cause and making debugging such 
failures difficult.

My particular case involves failing the first write in the initialize() and 
close() failing the seek. My code receives:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Illegal seek
        at java.io.RandomAccessFile.seek(Native Method) ~[na:1.6.0_31]
        at 
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory$FSIndexOutput.seek(FSDirectory.java:479)
        at 
org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosWriter.close(TermInfosWriter.java:244)
        at org.apache.lucene.util.IOUtils.close(IOUtils.java:141)

which provides no indication as to why the initialization failed. The above 
stack trace has been created with lucene version 3.5.0 but the exception 
handling is still the same in 3.6.2
