I know this was broached on one of the threads, here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-lucy-dev/200903.mbox/%[email protected]%3e
But I think it merits more discussion. Are more than one thread allowed inside the Lucy core at once? Or are we "up-front" expecting one to always use separate processes to gain concurrency? Whichever it is, Lucy will need to do something when crossing the bridge to "mate" to the Host language's thread model. At some point, as described above, a single search will need to use concurrency; it seems like Lucy should allow multiple threads into the core for this reason. Mike
