Robert Muir commented on SOLR-3251:
-----------------------------------
It may not be a problem given the current implementation, but in my opinion its
unsupported (definitely untested).
And it raises the point if it really should be: if you asked me a year or so
ago, I think it would be a definitive "no".
And I'm not saying the thing has to be immutable from this point of view
necessarily either, I'm just saying we shouldnt rush into it. If we are careful
and examine all the issues, discuss and add appropriate docs and tests then I
would feel better about it. For example, we could add lucene-level tests for
this per-field codec/sim stuff in IndexWriter and I wouldnt worry as much about
that side. But today I worry about it since I have no idea what would happen.
On the solr search side, binding to a indexsearcher sounds pretty good, but
could still be problematic in some cases because there is nothing to ensure the
same indexsearcher is used across multiple phases of a distributed request,
right?
Anyway, this is why I added my comments: I'm not trying to argue for any
particular design as much as I'm just saying I don't think its a good idea to
just commit right now and assume this all works today (from indexing or search
side), and open a bunch of nasty bug reports later.
