Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2691: ----------------------------------------- bq. Should be good to go, but may need a few doc improvements. I think docs are fine though at least what I read on IR but I wonder why we need to synchronize on the iIR here since this call only forwards to the given writer? {code} public synchronized IndexReader reopen(IndexWriter writer) throws CorruptIndexException, IOException { return writer.getReader(); } {code} I would guess calling writer.getReader() in there should not block other actions like concurrent searches on this reader since a NRT getRearder call can take its time. If at all we should sync on the writer though (which is already done inside IW) or do I miss something? > Consolidate Near Real Time and Reopen API semantics > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2691 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2691 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Grant Ingersoll > Assignee: Grant Ingersoll > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.1, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2691.patch > > > We should consolidate the IndexWriter.getReader and the IndexReader.reopen > semantics, since most people are already using the IR.reopen() method, we > should simply add:: > {code} > IR.reopen(IndexWriter) > {code} > Initially, it could just call the IW.getReader(), but it probably should > switch to just using package private methods for sharing the internals -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
