Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5588:
--------------------------------------------
I agree we should fsync the directory if we can; we rely on Directory.listAll()
to locate all index commits (though, we do fallback to segments.gen, which we
also fsync on commit, if the dir listing fails).

> Since we are on Java 7 now and we already fixed FSDir.sync to use FileChannel
> (LUCENE-5570), we can also fsync the directory (at least try to do it).
> Unlike RandomAccessFile, which must be a regular file, FileChannel.open() can
> also open a directory:
