Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1637:
--------------------------------------------
Couldn't you simply call IW.getReader() just after calling IW.commit()?
Or just IndexReader.reopen? (The extra work that reopen does vs
IndexWriter.getReader is fairly minor -- the former must find & open the
segments_N file; after that it's the same).
> Getting an IndexReader from a committed IndexWriter
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-1637
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1637
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.9
> Reporter: Shay Banon
>
> I just had a look at the job done in IndexWriter in order to get an
> IndexReader with all the current ongoing changes done using the IndexWriter.
> This feature is very useful, and I was wondering if another feature, which (I
> think) is simple to implement (compared to the previous one) might make
> sense.
> Many times, an application opens an IndexWriter, does whatever changes it
> does, and then commits the changes. It would be nice to get an IndexReader
> (read only one is fine) that corresponds to the committed (or even closed)
> IndexWriter. This will allow for a cache of IndexReader that is already used
> to be updated with a fresh IndexReader, without the need to reopen one (which
> should be slower than opening one based on the IndexWriter information). The
> main difference is the fact that the mentioned IndexReader could still be
> reopened without the need to throw an AlreadyClosedException.
