             Summary: MmapDirectory shouldn't pass along OOM wrapped as 
IOException
                 Key: LUCENE-5673
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5673
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Muir
         Attachments: LUCENE-5673.patch

The bug here is in java (not MMapDir), but i think we shoudl do something.

Users get confused when they configure their JVM to trigger something on OOM, 
and then see "OutOfMemoryError: Map Failed": but their trigger doesnt fire.

Thats because in the jdk, when it maps files it catches OutOfMemoryError, asks 
for a garbage collection, sleeps for 100 milliseconds, then tries to map again. 
if it fails a second time it wraps the OOM in a generic IOException.

I think we should add a try/catch to our filechannel.map
