   OK, looking at where they are used, it seems like they were attempted to be 
synchronized, but we aren't synchronizing on the same things, which could cause 
a race condition. 
   
   Particularly right here:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/40060f8b7080d06a218518445a0a1dfc520c812a/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/DocumentsWriterFlushControl.java#L572-L576
   
   ```
   documentsWriter.resetDeleteQueue(newQueue);
   ```
   Is synchronized, and so is 
   
   ```
   documentsWriter.getNextSequenceNumber()
   ```
   
   However, in this window of resetting the queue & gathering seqNo, 
`documentsWriter` isn't locked. So `getNextSequenceNumber` could be called. 
Thus calling `getNextSequenceNumber()` on the old queue, after maxSeqNo is 
figured out for the NEW queue.
   
   I think the solution might be to encapsulate the `resetDeleteQueue` so that 
`deleteQueue.advanceQueue` is synchronized with `getNextSequenceNumber`. 
   
   I will push a PR to that effect.
