Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2766:
-------------------------------------

I'm gonna hold off on LUCENE-2771 until we figure this one out... because it 
would make your getSequentialSubReaders in the synced=true case quite heavy 
(without modifications).

This is because in that issue the norms caching is removed from the non-atomic 
readers
(Dir/MultiReader) and pushed onto SlowMultiReaderWrapper/ParallelReader.

So one idea is to fix parallelreader to not 'sometimes' return 
getSequentialSubReaders,
but instead have two supported approaches, one that supports the 'synced' case 
properly with
per-segment search (and a suitable mergepolicy to go with it), another 
(deprecated) one
to support the synced=false case?

Or reworded: is there any reason we shouldn't actually *only* support this way 
going forwards
in the future?

> Applications that need to use ParallelReader can't currently use per-segment 
> optimizations because getSequentialSubReaders returns null.
> Considering the strict requirements on input indexes that ParallelReader 
> already enforces it's usually the case that the additional indexes are built 
> with the knowledge of the primary index, in order to keep the docId-s 
> synchronized. If that's the case then it's conceivable that these indexes 
> could be created with the same number of segments, which in turn would mean 
> that their docId-s are synchronized on a per-segment level. ParallelReader 
> should detect such cases, and in getSequentialSubReader it should return an 
> array of ParallelReader-s created from corresponding segments of input 
> indexes.
