--------------------------------------------

Thanks for reporting this [~marumarutan], I'll have a look.

> When an {{IndexWriter#commit()}} is stalled due to too many pending merges, you can get a deadlock if the currently active merge thread hits a tragic event.
> # The thread performing the commit synchronizes on the the {{commitLock}} in {{commitInternal}}.
> # The thread goes on to to call {{ConcurrentMergeScheduler#doStall()}} which {{waits()}} on the {{ConcurrentMergeScheduler}} object. This release the merge scheduler's monitor lock, but not the {{commitLock}} in {{IndexWriter}}.
> # Sometime after this wait begins, the merge thread gets a tragic exception can calls {{IndexWriter#tragicEvent()}} which in turn calls {{IndexWriter#rollbackInternal()}}.
> # The {{IndexWriter#rollbackInternal()}} synchronizes on the {{commitLock}} which is still held by the committing thread from (1) above which is waiting on the merge(s) to complete. Hence, deadlock.
> We hit this bug with Lucene 5.5, but I looked at the code in the master branch and it looks like the deadlock still exists there as well.
