Simon and Eric, thanks for the reply. I want to create multiple indexes depending on the data present. Like if month of record is Nov, I want to add it in index for November. If it's October, add it in index for October. I don't want to open and close indexes so many times so just maintaining IndexWriters for months in HashMap. Is there better way of doing this?

IndexWriter is optimized for concurrency and fully thread-safe. Is that what you trying to achieve? otherwise I would 100% agree with eric not knowing of a use-case. simon On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 12:58 AM, Erick Erickson <erickerick...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmmm, why would you want to do this?
