41. Can I modify the index while performing ongoing searches ?
Yes and no. At the time of writing this FAQ (June 2001), Lucene is not
thread safe in this regard. Here is a quote from Doug Cutting, the creator
of Lucene:
The problems are only when you add documents or optimize an index, and then
search with an IndexReader that was constructed before those changes to the
index were made. A possible work around is to perform the index updates in a parable and
separate index and switch to the new index when its updating is done. The
switching may be done for example, using a variable that will points to the
directory of the current active index. Since searches have a relatively
short life time, you may discard (or resue the old index) short time after
performing the switch (this grace period should be a little longer if you
want to let all searches that involved paging through the hit list to be
completed with consistent results).
Can you explain further?

Is it possible and safe to search an index while another thread adds documents or optimizes the same index?
Yes.
