             Summary: Fix concurrency race around newIndexWriter 
                 Key: SOLR-3621
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3621
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: update
            Reporter: Mark Miller
            Assignee: Mark Miller
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 4.0, 5.0


When I did the first big refactor on update handler, I was trying to never 
close the index writer - I had to give in on this goal due to the replication 
handler - it requires rebooting the indexwriter. At the time, I settled for 
allowing a little race that didn't show up as an issue in tests - this IW 
reboot was always a bit of a hack in the past anyhow.

Now that the dust has settled, we should make this air tight though. I'd like 
to make opening a new indexwriter a full class citizen rather than a hacky 
method only used minimally for replication to reboot things. It should be a 
solid API that is valid for any uses down the road.

For some IW config changes, we may want to do it in 'some' cases on reload.

To do this, we have to start ref counting iw use - so that we only actually 
open a new one and close the old one when it's not in use at all.
