Hi, I'm using SpellChecker (in Lucene contrib) to help users of SVNSearch who can't type right:
http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?logMessage=lusene SpellChecker works very well for my purpose, but I've encountered a possible file resource leak issue: I can't find any way to close the IndexSearcher (and IndexReader) that is being used by SpellChecker internally. I've worked around this issue by keeping a single SpellChecker open for each repository, but I'd really like to be able to close it and reopen it on demand without leaking file descriptors. Could we add a close() method to SpellChecker that will close the IndexSearcher and null the reference to it? And perhaps add some code that reopens the searcher if the reference to it is null? Or would that break thread safety of SpellChecker? The attached patch adds a close method but leaves it to the user to call setSpellIndex to reopen the searcher. Thanks, Eirik.
