I don't know if you have to call close() to make all modifications visible or not. Sounds likely. You do not have to call optimize. Having one writer and one or more readers concurrently is fine. You can (should) call IndexReader.lastModified() to find out if the index has been modified since the IndexReader was opened. > Also, when IndexWriter.addDocument is called per file, the function calls > newSegmentName() to create its corresponding segement name.

I'm just a lucene user and have never needed to know about that sort of stuff. -- Ian.
