             Summary:  Extract ReaderPool from IndexWriter
                 Key: LUCENE-8259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8259
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 7.4, master (8.0)
            Reporter: Simon Willnauer
             Fix For: 7.4, master (8.0)
         Attachments: extract_reader_pool.diff

ReaderPool plays a central role in the IndexWriter pooling NRT readers and 
making sure we write buffered deletes and updates to disk. This class used to 
be a non-static inner class accessing many aspects including locks from the 
IndexWriter itself. This change moves the class outside of IW and defines it's 
responsiblity in a clear way with respect to locks etc. Now IndexWriter doesn't 
need to share ReaderPool anymore and reacts on writes done inside the pool by 
checkpointing internally. This also removes acquiring the IW lock inside the 
reader pool which makes reasoning about concurrency difficult.

This change also add javadocs and dedicated tests for the ReaderPool class.
