[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-686?page=comments#action_12442987 ] Ning Li commented on LUCENE-686: --------------------------------
> Is there an actual memory leak problem related to this? Right now no. For example, in FS based directories, the index inputs term docs use are clones. Close() of cloned index inputs does not close the file descriptor. Only the origianl one does. However, memory leak could happen to a new subclass of directory and index input, if cloned instances require reclaiming resources. In addition, memory leak could happen to a new subclass of scorer, if there are resources associated with the scorer which should be reclaimed when done. > In ReqExclScorer the two scorers can also be closed when they are set to > null. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll double check all scorers and make sure close() are properly called. > It's probably better to use try/finally in IndexSearcher and call close in in > the finally clause, > exceptions are occasionally used to preliminary end a search, although not in > the > lucene core afaik. Will do. Thanks again!
