> I am not sure if this is a "bug" or really just me not reading the Javadocs
> right...
> The IR returned by IW.getReader() leaks file handles if you do not close()
> it, leading to starvation of the available file handles/process. If it was
> clear from the docs that this was a *new* reader and not some reference owned
> by the writer then this would probably be ok. But as I read the docs the
> reader is internally managed by the IW, which at first shot lead me to
> believe that I shouldn't close it.
> So perhaps the docs should be amended to clearly state that this is a
> caller-owns reader that *must* be closed? Attaching a simple app that
> illustrates the problem.
