I was in a hurry when copying and pasting the code. What I've been using is
only writer. RamWriter was never used as it never really worked (thanks to you,
I now understand the reason).
The above is not really related to the problem I was facing. I modified my code
so that an indexreader/indexwriter is opened right before the words comparison
takes place and is closed right after. (currently not using RamDir due to the
problems faced earlier)
Considering that the program is basically a loop that does thousands and
thousands of comparison, this is definitely not the most efficient way of
handling things.
I would appreciate any input in this regard on how to improve the efficiency.
