IndexReader.isCurrent fails when using two IndexReaders
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-758
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-758
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
         Environment: Operating System: other
Platform: other
            Reporter: Bernhard Messer
            Priority: Minor


there is a problem in IndexReader.isCurrent() if using two reader instances 
where one of them is based on a RAMDirectory. If there is an index and we open 
two IndexReaders where one is based on a FSDirectory and the other is based on 
a RAMDirectory, the IndexReader using the RAMDirectory does not recognize when 
the underlaying index has changed. The method IndexReader.isCurrent() always 
returns true. The testcase below shows the problem.

I did not find an ideal solution to solve the problem. I think the best way 
would be to change the IndexReader.isCurrent() implementation from:
  public boolean isCurrent() throws IOException {
    return SegmentInfos.readCurrentVersion(directory) == 
segmentInfos.getVersion();
  }
to something like:
  public boolean isCurrent() throws IOException {
    return directory.readCurrentVersion() == segmentInfos.getVersion();
  }
As far as i can see this would work for FS- and RAMDirectory. But then the 
implementing Directory classes have to know about "segment" files and there 
formating details.
What do others think ?

  /** 
   * additional testcase for IndexReaderTest to show the problem when using two 
different Readers
   */
  public void testIsCurrentWithCombined() throws Exception {
      String tempDir = System.getProperty("tempDir");
      if (tempDir == null)
          throw new IOException("tempDir undefined, cannot run test");

      File indexDir = new File(tempDir, "lucenetestiscurrent");
      Directory fsStore = FSDirectory.getDirectory(indexDir, true);
      
      IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(fsStore, new SimpleAnalyzer(), true);
      addDocumentWithFields(writer);
      writer.close();
      
      IndexReader reader1 = IndexReader.open(fsStore);
      IndexReader reader2 = IndexReader.open(new RAMDirectory(fsStore));
      
      assertTrue(reader1.isCurrent());
      assertTrue(reader2.isCurrent());
      
      reader1.deleteDocument(0);
      reader1.close();
      
      // BUG: reader based on the RAMDirectory does not recognize the index 
change.
      assertFalse(reader2.isCurrent());
      
      reader2.close();
    }
