--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This solution has the severe drawback that it only works if the IndexWriter is 
used in flush-by-docCount mode. Lucene's default behavior is flush-by-size now.

See LUCENE-1879 for a more generic approach.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-600
>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Index
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Chuck Williams
>            Priority: Minor
>         Attachments: ParallelWriter.patch
>
>
> A new class ParallelWriter is provided that serves as a companion to 
> ParallelReader.  ParallelWriter meets all of the doc-id synchronization 
> requirements of ParallelReader, subject to:
>     1.  ParallelWriter.addDocument() is synchronized, which might have an 
> adverse effect on performance.  The writes to the sub-indexes are, however, 
> done in parallel.
>     2.  The application must ensure that the ParallelReader is never reopened 
> inside ParallelWriter.addDocument(), else it might find the sub-indexes out 
> of sync.
>     3.  The application must deal with recovery from 
> ParallelWriter.addDocument() exceptions.  Recovery must restore the 
> synchronization of doc-ids, e.g. by deleting any trailing document(s) in one 
> sub-index that were not successfully added to all sub-indexes, and then 
> optimizing all sub-indexes.
> A new interface, Writable, is provided to abstract IndexWriter and 
> ParallelWriter.  This is in the same spirit as the existing Searchable and 
> Fieldable classes.
> This implementation uses java 1.5.  The patch applies against today's svn 
> head.  All tests pass, including the new TestParallelWriter.
