The picture didn't come through to the list. If you are really fully re-indexing and replacing the index every time then you should just open a new IndexReader instead of trying to .maybeReopen? Ie, the newly opened reader cannot share any segments with the old one, so you get no benefit from it.
But, this means, in your app you'll need to communicate when it's time to open a new reader. You might also want to use Lucene's replication module ... it handles all these details. One simple idea to try: on the machine that's doing the re-indexing, instead of blowing away the index directory yourself, use IndexWriter's .deleteAll, or open a new IndexWriter with OpenMode.CREATE; each of these approaches will write the next generation segments_N file, which when you copy over to the 2nd machine, should reliably make openIfChanged think the index did in fact change.
