Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-2565:
------------------------------------
I think the removal of all of the synchronization in the update handler leads
to a race condition on reopen.
Basically, the order that we start a reopen in different threads does not have
to correspond to the order that the reopen finishes, or the order that the new
searcher is registered. This can mean temporarily lost documents - a request
can add a document + repoen and due to scheduling have an older reopen
registered last in a different thread (meaning the document won't be visible).
So it looks like we need to synchronize to ensure that only one thread reopens
at a time.
As far as I can tell, I don't think that this synchronization needs to extend
to the IW.commit() for a hard commit.

> Spinnoff from SOLR-2193. We already have a branch to work on this issue here
> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/solr2193
> The main goal here is to prevent solr from closing the IW and use IW#commit
> instead. AFAIK the main issues here are:
> The update handler needs an overhaul.
> A few goals I think we might want to look at:
> 1. Expose the SolrIndexWriter in the api or add the proper abstractions to
> get done what we now do with special casing:
> 2. Stop closing the IndexWriter and start using commit (still lazy IW init
> though).
> 3. Drop iwAccess, iwCommit locks and sync mostly at the Lucene level.
> 4. Address the current issues we face because multiple original/'reloaded'
> cores can have a different IndexWriter on the same index.
> Eventually this is a preparation for NRT support in Solr which I will create
> a followup issue for.
