Hi, I'm working on an app that will use Lucene and I'm trying to get a handle of the thread safety of Analyzers.
The specific question I'm exploring is whether it is safe to use a single instance of an Analyzer across different Indexes (and therefore concurrent IndexWriters) in the case where two indexes may include the same Analyzer/fieldName pair? Our app will create and use multiple indexes concurrently and it is likely that several of those indexes will contain the same field and specify the same Analyzer. It seems like the ReuseStrategy is keyed off Analyzer and fieldName. So the Tokenizers would get reused across indexes. It is not clear to me that all the Tokenizers are not stateful, but if they are not stateful, then I guess it would be good to reuse a single Analyzer instance across indexes in this way? Thank you. Bill
