[jira] [Resolved] (LUCENE-3230) Make FSDirectory.fsync() public and static

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3230?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shai Erera resolved LUCENE-3230.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I opened LUCENE-3237 to improve how fsync works. After we move sync() to IndexOutput, a public static sync() API won't make much sense.

> I find FSDirectory.fsync() (today protected and instance method) very useful as a utility to sync() files. I'd like create a FSDirectory.sync() utility which contains the exact same impl of FSDir.fsync(), and have the latter call it. We can have it part of IOUtils too, as it's a completely standalone utility.
> I would get rid of FSDir.fsync() if it wasn't protected (as if encouraging people to override it). I doubt anyone really overrides it (our core Directories don't).
> Also, while reviewing the code, I noticed that if IOE occurs, the code sleeps for 5 msec. If an InterruptedException occurs then, it immediately throws ThreadIE, completely ignoring the fact that it slept due to IOE. Shouldn't we at least pass IOE.getMessage() on ThreadIE?
> The patch is trivial, so I'd like to get some feedback before I post it.
