Ken Geis commented on LUCENE-636: --------------------------------- This is not going to be sufficient. There are active code paths that still use System.getProperty(..). For instance, the static initializers of FSDirectory and SegmentReader. If I load up a Compass-based web app, and it uses an old version of Lucene that works off system properties, it will set the org.apache.lucene.SegmentReader.class property to use a Compass-specific segment reader. Then in another web app that uses a current version of Lucene that has "moved away from using system properties," the application will crash when it tries to load the SegmentReader class. > [PATCH] Differently configured Lucene 'instances' in same JVM > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-636 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-636 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Johan Stuyts > Attachments: Lucene2DifferentConfigurations.patch > > > Currently Lucene can be configured using system properties. When running > multiple 'instances' of Lucene for different purposes in the same JVM, it is > not possible to use different settings for each 'instance'. > I made changes to some Lucene classes so you can pass a configuration to that > class. The Lucene 'instance' will use the settings from that configuration. > The changes do not effect the API and/or the current behavior so are > backwards compatible. > In addition to the changes above I also made the SegmentReader and > SegmentTermDocs extensible outside of their package. I would appreciate the > inclusion of these changes but don't mind creating a separate issue for them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
