It is also probably a good idea to move various settings methods from IW to that builder and have IW immutable in regards to configuration. I'm speaking of the likes of setWriteLockTimeout, setRAMBufferSizeMB, setMergePolicy, setMergeScheduler, setSimilarity.
IndexWriter.Builder iwb = IndexWriter.builder(). writeLockTimeout(0). RAMBufferSize(config.indexationBufferMB). maxBufferedDocs(...). similarity(...). analyzer(...); ... = iwb.build(dir1); ... = iwb.build(dir2); On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 02:54, Michael Busch <busch...@gmail.com> wrote: > I was thinking lately about the large quantity of IndexWriter constructors > and IndexReader open methods.
