bq: because shouldn't there only be one active searcher at a time? Kind of. This is a total nit, but there can be multiple searchers serving queries briefly (one hopes at least). S1 is serving some query when S2 becomes active and starts getting new queries. Until the last query S1 is serving is complete, they both are active.
bq: why is there a setting (maxWarmingSearchers) that even lets you have more than one The contract is that when you commit (assuming you're opening a new searcher), then all docs indexed up to that point are visible. Therefore you _must_ open a new searcher even if one is currently warming or that contract would be violated. Since warming can take minutes, not opening a new searcher if one was currently warming could cause quite a gap.
