Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-2345:
-----------------------------------------

bq. Earwin, can you post a patch w/ your current state, even if it's "rough"?
Ahem. Right now it's more or less finished for 
Multi/Directory/MutableDirectory/WriterBackedDirectory-readers.
But the SegmentReader is in shambles (i.e. does not compile yet).
Should I post asis?

> I would like the ability to subclass SegmentReader for numerous reasons:
> * to capture initialization/close events
> * attach custom objects to an instance of a segment reader (caches, 
> statistics, so on and so forth)
> * override methods on segment reader as needed
> currently this isn't really possible
> I propose adding a SegmentReaderFactory that would allow creating custom 
> subclasses of SegmentReader
> default implementation would be something like:
> {code}
> public class SegmentReaderFactory {
>   public SegmentReader get(boolean readOnly) {
>     return readOnly ? new ReadOnlySegmentReader() : new SegmentReader();
>   }
>   public SegmentReader reopen(SegmentReader reader, boolean readOnly) {
>     return newSegmentReader(readOnly);
>   }
> }
> {code}
> It would then be made possible to pass a SegmentReaderFactory to IndexWriter 
> (for pooled readers) as well as to SegmentReader.get() (DirectoryReader.open, 
> etc)
> I could prepare a patch if others think this has merit
> Obviously, this API would be "experimental/advanced/will change in future"
