One term-cache per thread is what is intended in Java (or I think so).
{quote} 
No It's not. Here are the reasons: 
1. If that's what they intended then they would have made enumerators static.
2. There can be many instances of TermInfosReader in a process each needing a 
*different* termEnum. It's doesn't make sense for them to use the same enum 
instance becuase an enum should be created *per TermInfosReader*.

{quote}
As I wanted to show in "TestCase", if you make "enumerators" static, cache is 
created only once per thread, otherwise it is created with every new instance 
of TermInfosReader
{quote} 
Which is exactly how it should work.

{quote}
( A private field would be enough for that type of cache). 
{quote} 
A private field would *not* be enough becuase multiple threads using the same 
TermInfosReader will get the same enumerator each stepping on the other's toe. 
That is exactly what ThreadLocal is preventing.

> AFAIK, "ThreadLocal" in Java is there to hold objects which are intented to 
> be used  thread-wide. So, its port-equivalent "LocalDataStoreSlot" should 
> contain objects related with the executing thread. But, since they are not 
> declared as "static" in Analyzer.cs, FieldsReader.cs, SegmentReader.cs and 
> TermInfosReader.cs, they are created with every class contruction, changing 
> the behaviour of "ThreadLocal" and possibly resulting in performance 
> degradation.
> I will attach a test case for this issue.
> If I am wrong, then there is no problem. But If I am right we are in trouble; 
>  Since adding "static" to variables declared as LocalDataStoreSlot results in 
> failing of almost all test cases.
