Michael McCandless reopened LUCENE-1149:
----------------------------------------
Sorry, you're right this issue isn't really a dup (I've reopened it).
I was just saying that Lucene's IW APIs are already transactional so
one should be able to build a transactions layer on top. Ie, you
should not have to make a new index for each transaction.
We would still need a layer that mates this up to the XA transactions
API (I think?). Does anyone have a patch for this?

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Index
> Reporter: robert engels
>
> Need to add XA transaction support to Lucene.
> Without XA support, it is difficult to keep disparate resources (e.g.
> database) in sync with the Lucene index.
> A review of the XA support added to Hibernate might be a good start (although
> Hibernate almost always uses a XA capable backing store database).
> It would be ideal to have a combined IndexReaderWriter instance, then create
> a XAIndexReaderWriter which wraps it.
> The implementation might be as simple as a XA log file which lists the XA
> transaction id, and the segments XXX number(s), since Lucene already allows
> you to rollback to a previous version (??? for sure, or does it only allow
> you to abort the current commit).
> If operating under a XA transaction, the no explicit commits or rollbacks
> should be allowed on the instance.
> The index would be committed during XA prepare(), and then if needed
> rolledback when requested. The XA commit() would be a no-op.
> There is a lot more to this but this should get the ball rolling.
