Would it matter if an IndexReader was opened while an index merge is in progress?
Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Erick Erickson [mailto:erickerick...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:03 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Index merge question When you open an IndexReader, Lucene effectively takes a "snapshot" of the index and searches it until you reopen your reader. So the timing of when the merged index gets used is up to you, so you should be fine.
