Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-1516:
------------------------------------------
It looks like DirectoryIndexReader needs to have an IndexWriter mode
as unfortunately subclassing won't work. In this context overriding a
method implies the IW mode is being used.
I assume we'll share the segmentInfos object from IW rather than
share a clone with the IR?
* DirectoryIndexReader.doCommit needs to be overridden
* IndexReader uses the IndexDeletionPolicy from IndexWriter
* DirectoryIndexReader.acquireWriteLock is overridden and synchronizes
on the write lock of IndexWriter, other details need to be worked out
* Method requiring synchronization in IW: optimize, expungeDeletes,
prepareCommit, flush, addIndexes, methods that modify segmentInfos.
Do we synchronize on IW or writeLock?
* addDocument, updateDocument, deleteDocument do not seem to require
synchronization
* IW.getReader returns a cloned reader. IW keeps it's own reference.
This is to allow IW to perform deletes using the internal reader rather than
open a new reader and in general not affect IW's reader while still sharing
resources.
> Integrate IndexReader with IndexWriter

> Key: LUCENE-1516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1516
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Jason Rutherglen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> The current problem is an IndexReader and IndexWriter cannot be open
> at the same time and perform updates as they both require a write
> lock to the index. While methods such as IW.deleteDocuments enables
> deleting from IW, methods such as IR.deleteDocument(int doc) and
> norms updating are not available from IW. This limits the
> capabilities of performing updates to the index dynamically or in
> realtime without closing the IW and opening an IR, deleting or
> updating norms, flushing, then opening the IW again, a process which
> can be detrimental to realtime updates.
> This patch will expose an IndexWriter.getReader method that returns
> the currently flushed state of the index as a class that implements
> IndexReader. The new IR implementation will differ from existing IR
> implementations such as MultiSegmentReader in that flushing will
> synchronize updates with IW in part by sharing the write lock. All
> methods of IR will be usable including reopen and clone.
