How long does the Hits object stay in memory for?
As long as you keep it around. Lucene isn't responsible for keeping
a reference to it, your application is.
Until the IndexSearcher closes? And if you just use 1 IndexSearcher
would there be a big collection
of Hits in memory?
See above. You're entirely in charge of the Hits object being kept
around, or not.
Since you're obviously in a servlet environment, you probably will
want to implement some sort of paging through Hits. One option is to
simply throw Hits away after every request and re-search for every
page. That works well enough in every case I've encountered that I
haven't used the alternative of keeping Hits around across requests.
