-------------------------------------

I just committed some updates, could you please check whether it's okay now?

> TestIndexModifier.testIndexWithThreads is not valid?

> I recently started playing with the trunk of SVN, and noticed that 
> intermitently, TestIndexModifier.testIndexWithThreads (revision 292010) would 
> fail.
> The basic premise of the test seems to be that 3 pairs of IndexThread 
> instances can be started in parallel, each pair using the same instance of 
> IndexModifier to concurrently and randomly add/delete/optimize a single 
> FSDirectory index.  
> The test is considered a success if the sum of additions-deletions recorded 
> by each pair of threads equals the final docCount() for the IndexModifier 
> instance used by that pair of threads.
> Now I freely admit that I'm not 100% familiar with the code for 
> IndexModifier, but at a glance, the basic premise seems to be: 
>    a) If method for IndexWriter is called, open it if needed, close the 
> IndexReader first if needed.
>    b) if method for IndexReader is called, open it if needed, close the 
> IndexWriter first if needed.
> If I'm understnading that correctly, I see no reason to assume this test will 
> pass.  
> It seems like there could be plenty of scenerios in which the number of 
> additions-deletions != docCount(). The most trivial example I can think of is:
>    1) the first IndexThread instance which has a chance to run adds a 
> document, and optimizes before any other IndexThreads ever open the Directory.
>    2) a subsequent pair of IndexThread instances open their IndexModifier 
> instance before any documents are deleted.
>    3) the IndexThread instances from #2 do nothing but add documents
> ...that pair of IndexThreads is now garunteed to have recorded a differnet 
> number of additions then the docCount returned by their IndexModifier.
> Am I missing something, or should this test be removed?
