Marvin Humphrey commented on LUCENE-2345:
-----------------------------------------

> Is there a ticket or wiki page that details the "plugin" architecture/design
> so i could take a look?

FWIW, KinoSearch has a complete prototype implementation of this design, 
based loosely on the mailing list conversations that Earwin referred to.

  * SegReader and SegWriter are both composites with minimal APIs.
  * All subcomponents subclass either DataWriter or DataReader.
  * The Architecture class (under KinoSearch::Plan) determines which plugins
    get loaded.

> I would like the ability to subclass SegmentReader for numerous reasons:
> * to capture initialization/close events
> * attach custom objects to an instance of a segment reader (caches, 
> statistics, so on and so forth)
> * override methods on segment reader as needed
> currently this isn't really possible
> I propose adding a SegmentReaderFactory that would allow creating custom 
> subclasses of SegmentReader
> default implementation would be something like:
> {code}
> public class SegmentReaderFactory {
>   public SegmentReader get(boolean readOnly) {
>     return readOnly ? new ReadOnlySegmentReader() : new SegmentReader();
>   }
>   public SegmentReader reopen(SegmentReader reader, boolean readOnly) {
>     return newSegmentReader(readOnly);
>   }
> }
> {code}
> It would then be made possible to pass a SegmentReaderFactory to IndexWriter 
> (for pooled readers) as well as to SegmentReader.get() (DirectoryReader.open, 
> etc)
> I could prepare a patch if others think this has merit
> Obviously, this API would be "experimental/advanced/will change in future"
