Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-793:
---------------------------------
> Since these really are cases of severe index corruption I thought it
> best to throw CorruptIndexException instead?
no disagreement, i'm just not clear on why "CorruptIndexException" (which is a
completley new Exception type created by your patch correct?) should be a
subclass of IOException instead of IllegalStateException.
> Javadocs should explain possible causes for IOExceptions

> Most methods in Lucene reserve the right to throw an IOException. This can
> occur for nearly all methods from low level problems like wrong permissions,
> transient IO errors, bad hard drive or corrupted file system, corrupted
> index, etc, but for some methods there are also more interesting causes that
> we should try to document.
