On a quick look, I think there are a few problems with the code:

  * I don't see any synchronization -- it looks like two search
    requests are allowed into this method at the same time?  Which is
    dangerous... eg both (or, more) will wastefully reopen the
    readers.

  * You are over-incRef'ing (the reader.incRef inside the loop) -- I
    don't see a corresponding decRef.

  * You reopen and warm your searchers "live" (vs with BG thread);
    meaning the unlucky search request that hits a reopen pays the
    cost.  This might be OK if the index is small enough that
    reopening & warming takes very little time.  But if index gets
    large, making a random search pay that warming cost is not nice to
    the end user.  It erodes their trust in you.

  * You always make a new IndexSearcher and a new MultiSearcher even
    when nothing has changed.  This just generates unnecessary garbage
    which GC then must sweep up.

  * You are creating a new Analyzer & QueryParser every time, also
    creating unnecessary garbage; instead, they should be created once
    & reused.

You should consider simply using Solr -- it handles all this logic for
you and has been well debugged with time...

The reason for the indexreader.reopen is because I have a webapp which
enables users to upload files and then search for the documents. If I don't
reopen i'm concerned that the facet hit counter won't be updated.

Hi
I have been able to get the code working for my scenario, however I have a question and I was wondering if I could get some help. I have a list of
IndexSearchers which are used in a MultiSearcher class.  I use the
indexsearchers to get each indexreader and put them into a MultiIndexReader.

IndexReader[] readers = new IndexReader[searchables.length];

for (int i =0 ; i < searchables.length;i++) {

IndexSearcher indexSearcher = (IndexSearcher)searchables[i];

readers[i] = indexSearcher.getIndexReader();

   IndexReader newReader = readers[i].reopen();

if (newReader != readers[i]) {

readers[i].close();

}

readers[i] = newReader;



}

multiReader = new MultiReader(readers);

OpenBitSetFacetHitCounter facetHitCounter = newOpenBitSetFacetHitCounter();

IndexSearcher indexSearcher = new IndexSearcher(multiReader);


I then use the indexseacher to do the facet stuff. I end the code with closing the multireader. This is causing problems in another method where I do some other search as the indexreaders are closed. Is it ok to not close the multiindexreader or should I do some additional checks in the other
method to see if the indexreader is closed?



Cheers


P.S. Hope that made sense...!

Hi

I am looking at building a faceted search using Lucene. I know that
Solr
comes with this built in, however I would like to try this by myself (something to add to my CV!). I have been looking around and I found
that
you can use the IndexReader and use TermVectors. This looks ok but I'm
not
sure how to filter the results so that a particular user can only see a subset of results. The next option I was looking at was something like

Term term1 = new Term("brand", "ford");
Term term2 = new Term("brand", "vw");
Term[] termsArray = new Term[] { term1, term2 };un
int[] docFreqs = indexSearcher.docFreqs(termsArray);

The only problem here is that I have to provide the brand type each
time a
new brand is created. Again I'm not sure how I can filter the results
here.
It may be that I'm using the wrong api methods to do this.

I would be grateful if I could get some advice on this.


Cheers
Amin

P.S. I am basically trying to do something that displays the following

Personal Contact (23) Business Contact (45) and so on..
