Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6835:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for attacking this!
Should we add a TODO to IndexFileDeleter to try to remove the LUCENE-6684 hack
later too?
I really like the sort (since we return array anyway). Can we followup by
making this a change to the Directory API? e.g. fix RAMDir etc to behave too.
We can add tests to BaseDirectoryTestCase that it works.
Lets remove those OS-specific heroics and move forward.
> Directory.deleteFile should "own" retrying deletions on Windows

> Rob's idea:
> Today, we have hairy logic in IndexFileDeleter to deal with Windows file
> systems that cannot delete still open files.
> And with LUCENE-6829, where OfflineSorter now must deal with the situation
> too ... I worked around it by fixing all tests to disable the virus checker.
> I think it makes more sense to push this "platform specific problem" lower in
> the stack, into Directory? I.e., its deleteFile method would catch the
> access denied, and then retry the deletion later. Then we could re-enable
> virus checker on all these tests, simplify IndexFileDeleter, etc.
> Maybe in the future we could further push this down, into WindowsDirectory,
> and fix FSDirectory.open to return WindowsDirectory on windows ...
