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 Closes #7049

Building
Basic steps:
- Install OpenJDK 21.
- Clone Lucene's git repository (or download the source distribution).
- Run gradle launcher script (
gradlew).
We'll assume that you know how to get and set up the JDK - if you don't, then we suggest starting at https://jdk.java.net/ and learning more about Java, before returning to this README.
