I only have the source to 4.6.1, but if you look at the constructor of
IndexWriter there, it looks like this:
public IndexWriter(Directory d, IndexWriterConfig conf) throws
IOException {
conf.setIndexWriter(this); // prevent reuse by other instances
The setter throws an exception if the configuration object has already been
used with another instance of IndexWriter. Therefore, it should be cloned
before being used in the constructor of IndexWriter.
