Guys, please - you're not new at this... this is what JavaDoc is for:
/**
* Returns a readonly reader containing all
* current updates. Flush is called automatically. This
* provides "near real-time" searching, in that changes
* made during an IndexWriter session can be made
* available for searching without closing the writer.
*
* <p>It's near real-time because there is no hard
* guarantee on how quickly you can get a new reader after
* making changes with IndexWriter. You'll have to
* experiment in your situation to determine if it's
* fast enough. As this is a new and experimental
* feature, please report back on your findings so we can
* learn, improve and iterate.</p>
*
* <p>The resulting reader supports {...@link
* IndexReader#reopen}, but that call will simply forward
* back to this method (though this may change in the
* future).</p>
*
* <p>The very first time this method is called, this
* writer instance will make every effort to pool the
* readers that it opens for doing merges, applying
* deletes, etc. This means additional resources (RAM,
* file descriptors, CPU time) will be consumed.</p>
*
* <p>For lower latency on reopening a reader, you should
* call {...@link #setMergedSegmentWarmer} to
* pre-warm a newly merged segment before it's committed
* to the index. This is important for minimizing
* index-to-search delay after a large merge. </p>
*
* <p>If an addIndexes* call is running in another thread,
* then this reader will only search those segments from
* the foreign index that have been successfully copied
* over, so far</p>.
*
* <p><b>NOTE</b>: Once the writer is closed, any
* outstanding readers may continue to be used. However,
* if you attempt to reopen any of those readers, you'll
* hit an {...@link AlreadyClosedException}.</p>
*
* <p><b>NOTE:</b> This API is experimental and might
* change in incompatible ways in the next release.</p>
*
* @return IndexReader that covers entire index plus all
* changes made so far by this IndexWriter instance
*
* @throws IOException
