Make readOnly setting to IndexReader.open / IndexSearcher ctor explicit -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1659 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1659 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Improvement Components: Index Reporter: Michael McCandless Assignee: Michael McCandless Fix For: 2.9 Most apps don't need writable IndexReader, and, a readOnly IndexReader has better concurrent performance. I'd love to simply default readOnly to true, and you'd have to specify "false" if you want a read/write reader (I think that's the natural default), but that'd likely break too many back-compat cases. So the workaround is to make the parameter explicit, in 2.9. I think even for IndexSearcher's methods that open an IndexReader under the hood, we should also make the parameter explicit. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
