There are several approaches. First, is your index small
enough to fit in RAM? You might consider just putting it all in
RAM and searching that.

A more complex solution would be to keep the increments
in a separate RAMDir AND your FSDir, search both and
keep things coordinated. Something like

open FSDIr
create RAMDir
while (whatever) {
   get request
   if (modification) {
       write to FSDir and RAMDir
  }
   if (search) {
     search FSDir
     open RAMDir reader
     search RAMDir
     close RAMDir reader (but not writer!)
  }
}

close FSDIr
close RAMDir
start again from the top.



Warning: I haven't done this, but it *should* work. The sticky
part seems to me to be coordinating deletes since the
open FSDir may contain documents also in the RAMDir,
but that's "an exercise for the reader"<G>,

You could also define the problem away and just live
with a 5 minute latency.
