rmuir opened a new pull request, #13277: URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/13277
Background: Historically IndexWriter treated OutOfMemoryError special, for defensive reasons. It was expanded to VirtualMachineError, to try to play it safe in similar disastrous circumstances. We should treat any Error as a tragedy, as it isn't an Exception, and it isn't something a "reasonable" application should catch. IndexWriter should be reasonable. See #7049 for some of the reasoning. We can't pretend this will detect any possible scenario that might cause harm, e.g. a jvm bug might simply miscompile some code and cause silent corruption. But we should try harder by playing by the rules. Closes #13275 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
