What is the best way to implement: searching while indexing. I have read the mailinglist for a while but haven`t got a good answer to my question. It is not allowed to index, while searching. But I don`t understand why. All the segments are immutable, so after I have created a Reader it could use all the segments that are available at the moment. The reader maintains references to those segments, and if the reader is not needed anymore (or the writer says: I`m finished creating new indices... you should can search through a newer set of segments) the reader could delete all the old segments. The writer can create new segments based on the immutable-old ones and based on the new documents. After it has created a new set, it can signal the reader to use the newer segments. So why is the above scenario not possible? Why are segments immutable? And what is the best way to add documents to a (big index >20 gig) without copying the index, and without blocking the search?
