 /**
- * This class accepts multiple added documents and directly
- * writes a single segment file.  It does this more
- * efficiently than creating a single segment per document
- * (with DocumentWriter) and doing standard merges on those
- * segments.
- *
- * Each added document is passed to the {@link DocConsumer},
- * which in turn processes the document and interacts with
- * other consumers in the indexing chain.  Certain
- * consumers, like {@link StoredFieldsWriter} and {@link
- * TermVectorsTermsWriter}, digest a document and
- * immediately write bytes to the "doc store" files (ie,
- * they do not consume RAM per document, except while they
- * are processing the document).
- *
- * Other consumers, eg {@link FreqProxTermsWriter} and
- * {@link NormsWriter}, buffer bytes in RAM and flush only
- * when a new segment is produced.
-
- * Once we have used our allowed RAM buffer, or the number
- * of added docs is large enough (in the case we are
- * flushing by doc count instead of RAM usage), we create a
- * real segment and flush it to the Directory.
- *
- * Threads:
- *
- * Multiple threads are allowed into addDocument at once.
- * There is an initial synchronized call to getThreadState
- * which allocates a ThreadState for this thread.  The same
- * thread will get the same ThreadState over time (thread
- * affinity) so that if there are consistent patterns (for
- * example each thread is indexing a different content
- * source) then we make better use of RAM.  Then
- * processDocument is called on that ThreadState without
- * synchronization (most of the "heavy lifting" is in this
- * call).  Finally the synchronized "finishDocument" is
- * called to flush changes to the directory.
- *
- * When flush is called by IndexWriter we forcefully idle
- * all threads and flush only once they are all idle.  This
- * means you can call flush with a given thread even while
- * other threads are actively adding/deleting documents.
- *
- *
- * Exceptions:
- *
- * Because this class directly updates in-memory posting
- * lists, and flushes stored fields and term vectors
- * directly to files in the directory, there are certain
- * limited times when an exception can corrupt this state.
- * For example, a disk full while flushing stored fields
- * leaves this file in a corrupt state.  Or, an OOM
- * exception while appending to the in-memory posting lists
- * can corrupt that posting list.  We call such exceptions
- * "aborting exceptions".  In these cases we must call
- * abort() to discard all docs added since the last flush.
- *
- * All other exceptions ("non-aborting exceptions") can
- * still partially update the index structures.  These
- * updates are consistent, but, they represent only a part
- * of the document seen up until the exception was hit.
- * When this happens, we immediately mark the document as
- * deleted so that the document is always atomically ("all
- * or none") added to the index.
+ * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
