-------------------------------------
Tests are all fixed... i think this one is close.
> Make IndexReader really read-only in Lucene 4.0
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-3606
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3606
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Uwe Schindler
> Assignee: Uwe Schindler
>
> As we change API completely in Lucene 4.0 we are also free to remove
> read-write access and commits from IndexReader. This code is so hairy and
> buggy (as investigated by Robert and Mike today) when you work on
> SegmentReader level but forget to flush in the DirectoryReader, so its better
> to really make IndexReaders readonly.
> Currently with IndexReader you can do things like:
> - delete/undelete Documents -> Can be done by with IndexWriter, too (using
> deleteByQuery)
> - change norms -> this is a bad idea in general, but when we remove norms at
> all and replace by DocValues this is obsolete already. Changing DocValues
> should also be done using IndexWriter in trunk (once it is ready)
