I'm a bit of a Lucene newbie here, and I am trying to understand what you mean by "merge the temp dir"? Do you copy your exiting Index to the temp location, then use the overwrite feature of IndexWriter to re-create the master, then what do you merge? Shouldn't the master index now have everything? > > I used to way some time (~1 minute) for all searches on the old master to > finish after redirecting to the temp dir, then I would switch to the new > master. > I'm going to make this a setting, so that test won't have to wait a whole minute. But I think this is the cleanest solution without having to implement some sort of leaseing solution. Our searches should be fast and 1 minute is a long time. They should all be done by then.
