Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1879:
--------------------------------------------

I wonder if we could change Lucene's index format to make this feature
simpler to implement...

Ie, you're having to go to great lengths (since this is built
"outside" of Lucene's core) to force multiple separate indexes to
share everything but the postings files (merge choices, flush,
deletions files, segments files, turning off the stores, etc.).

What if we could invert this approach, so that we use only single
index/IndexWriter, but we allow "partitioned postings", where sets of
fields are mapped to different postings files in the segment?

Whenever a doc is indexed, postings from the fields are then written
according to this partition.  Eg if I map "body" to partition 1, and
"title" to partition 2, then I'd have two sets of postings files for
each segment.

Could something like this work?

> A new feature that allows building parallel indexes and keeping them in sync
