Is there something alike for IndexReaders?

You're welcome!

Hmm, double check that.  The only way I can explain what you're seeing is if 
the reader was open on the index, then the index was blown away / replaced, 
then openIfChanged called ...

Can you just decrease IW's ramBufferSizeMB to relieve the memory pressure?

That's fine, it's fully transactional: the deleteAll will not be visible until 
you open a new reader.  If you change your mind, you can call rollback after 
deleteAll and the docs are back, etc.

Even opening a new IW with OpenMode.CREATE is transactional: that change will 
not become visible to a reader until it's reopened.
