Now that LUCENE-1516 is close to being committed perhaps we can figure out the priority of other issues:
1. Searchable IndexWriter RAM buffer 2. Finish up benchmarking and perhaps implement passing filters to the SegmentReader level 3. Deleting by doc id using IndexWriter With 1) I'm interested in how we will lock a section of the bytes for use by a given reader? We would not actually lock them, but we need to set aside the bytes such that for example if the postings grows, TermDocs iteration does not progress to beyond it's limits. Are there any modifications that are needed of the RAM buffer format? How would the term table be stored? We would not be using the current hash method?
