John Wang commented on SOLR-243:
--------------------------------

My motivation in doing this is to create a plugin into solr for my project:

www.browseengine.com
or
bobo-browse.sourceforge.net

which is a more extensive facetted search implementation. I need a special 
IndexReader to do the plugin.

Please take a look.

Thanks

-John

> I have a customized IndexReader and I want to write a Solr plugin to use my 
> derived IndexReader implementation. Currently IndexReader instantiation is 
> hard coded to be: 
> IndexReader.open(path)
> It would be really useful if this is done thru a plugable factory that can be 
> configured, e.g. IndexReaderFactory
> interface IndexReaderFactory{
>      IndexReader newReader(String name,String path);
> }
> the default implementation would just return: IndexReader.open(path)
> And in the newSearcher and getSearcher methods in SolrCore class can call the 
> current factory implementation to get the IndexReader instance and then build 
> the SolrIndexSearcher by passing in the reader.
> It would be really nice to add this improvement soon (This seems to be a 
> trivial addition) as our project really depends on this.
> Thanks
