------------------------------------
bq. Maybe change testImmediateDiskFull to set max allowed size to max(1,
current-usage)?
Good idea ! Did it and it works.
Now ... one thing I haven't mentioned is the bw break. This is a behavioral bw
break, which specifically I'm not so sure we should care about, because I
wonder how many apps out there rely on being able to open a reader before they
ever commited on a fresh new index. So what do you think - do this change
anyway, OR ... utilize Version to our aid? I.e., if the Version that was passed
to IWC is before LUCENE_31, we keep the initial commit, otherwise we don't do
it? Pros is that I won't need to change many of the tests because they still
use the LUCENE_30 version (but that is not a strong argument), so it's a weak
Pro. Cons is that IW will keep having that doCommit handling in its ctor, only
now w/ added comments on why this is being kept around etc.
What do you think?

> I've noticed IndexWriter's ctor commits a first commit (empty one) if a fresh
> Directory is passed, w/ OpenMode.CREATE or CREATE_OR_APPEND. This seems
> unnecessarily, and kind of brings back an autoCommit mode, in a strange way
> ... why do we need that commit? Do we really expect people to open an
> IndexReader on an empty Directory which they just passed to an IW w/
> create=true? If they want, they can simply call commit() right away on the IW
> they created.
> I ran into this when writing a test which committed N times, then compared
> the number of commits (via IndexReader.listCommits) and was surprised to see
> N+1 commits.
> Tried to change doCommit to false in IW ctor, but it got IndexFileDeleter
> jumping on me .. so the change might not be that simple. But I think it's
> manageable, so I'll try to attack it (and IFD specifically !) back :).
