thanks for your quick reply.
I'm trying to use your method, but running into a NullPointerException on
the IndexWriteer.addIndexes().
code sample
isearcher is IndexSearcher,
newValues is IndexWriter with RAM Directory
<snip>
ParallelReader preader = new ParallelReader();
preader.add(isearcher.getIndexReader());
preader.add(new
IndexSearcher(newValues.getDirectory()).getIndexReader());
int numdoc = preader.numDocs();
for (int i = 0; i< numdoc; i++){
Document d= preader.document(i);
System.out.println( d.toString());
}
writer.addIndexes(new IndexReader[]{preader});
<snip>
this code works fine before the addIndexes line.
it printed the merged index properly.
but addIndexes throws NullPointerException.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I was using lucene 1.9.1, but there's a bug for this ,and i've updated to
lucene 2.0.0,
but still the same.
thanks in advance,
