bq. Maybe we could instead throw a new exception (IWClosedByTragedy or something)

> If you hit an exception at a "bad time" e.g. when writing files for a newly flushed segment, IndexWriter declares it a tragedy and secretly closes itself as a side effect of the exception.
> Subsequent operations will throw an ACE with the exception that caused the tragedy as its cause.
> This requires messy code, if you want to know when this happened to you, since the first exception doesn't make it clear that it was "tragic".
> I think we should make it easier to know when this happens?
> Maybe we could instead throw a new exception (IWClosedByTragedy or something), or maybe we add a getter (.getTragicException) to IW?
