You are getting back a new Reader and assigning it to the same variable name. {code} Directory d = Directory.open("/path/to/somewhere"); // Nice IndexReader r = IndexReader.open(d); // Nice Directory d2 = new RAMDirectory(); // Okay IndexWriter w = new IndexWriter(d2); // Sure r = writer.getReader() // WTF Indeed! {code} > 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: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2691.patch, 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
