Robert Starzer commented on LUCENE-1186: ---------------------------------------- i'm using quartz schedules to trigger indexing tasks since the analyzer class is using a thread local -> should i reuse an analyzer (e.g singleton pattern) in this case (quartz job reusing threads (=tread pool) -> thread local data never gets freed)...)?
