Remove synchronized from DirReader.reopen/clone
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2163
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2163
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.1


Spinoff from LUCENE-2161, where the fact that DirReader.reopen is
sync'd was dangerous in the context of NRT (could block all searches
against that reader when CMS was throttling).  So, with LUCENE-2161,
we're removing the synchronization when it's an NRT reader that you're
reopening.

But... why should we sync even for a "normal" reopen?  There are
various sync'd methods on IndexReader/DirReader (we are reducing that,
with LUCENE-2161 and also LUCENE-2156), but, in general it doesn't
seem like "normal" reopen really needs to be sync'd.  Performing a reopen
shouldn't incur any chance of blocking a search...
