OK.

Your reload method looks better now! (You are now closing the old reader).

Does that mean you no longer see the original problem (changes not
being reflected)?

You get the entrySet from the Map, you then iterate over its
Map.Entry, then you replace in your original map some entries (the
ones that are opened). So, you are modifying a Java collection while
iterating over elements from its Set view... I just don't know if
that's safe (anyone?). Would be good to instrument/debug and confirm
that the precise IndexReader that's searching the Directory your
IndexWriter just committed to, is in fact reopened.
