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?

> 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
