Hi,
In an attempt to balance searching efficiency against the number of open file
descriptors on my system, I cache IndexSearchers with a "last used" timestamp.
A background cache manager thread then periodically checks the cache for any
that haven't been used in a while and removes them from
: I figured it might be less expensive if search() (I have extended
: IndexSearcher) were to check that the underlying IndexReader is still
if you're extending IndexSearcher anyway you can override the close()
method to update a boolean and then add your own isClosed() method.
: open - and re
