That problem afflicts KinoSearch 0.1x, but not KinoSearch 0.3x or Lucy. > And, is it possible to run 2 or more separate processes in parallel that > index new data in the same time? There is a single write lock, which is held from Indexer->new through Indexer->commit. Multiple processes attempting to write to the same index will likely experience lock contention. There are multiple strategies for managing this limitation, such as queuing or utilizing Lucy::Index::BackgroundMerger, but the limitation remains. Marvin Humphrey
