Is there a valid use case? It seems like it might be a tricky method, because its an IndexReader property and not the index.

But it's just a flag passed in

If you know it's read only and that there are no deletes, can't you avoid isDeleted all together?

I'm mostly thinking it's useful for libraries that take in a Reader.


A user should probably technically treat read-only/non-read-only the same because it does not imply a different IndexReader didn't make changes/do deletes?

It doesn't sync deletes, but should you use the API any differently?

I don't see it hurting anything of course, but is there a real use case?
