> Here is a little something I worked on this weekend that I wanted to contribute 
> back as I think others might find it very useful.
> I extended IndexReader and added support for configuring an idle timeout and 
> refresh interval.
> It uses a monitoring thread to watch for the reader going idle. When the reader 
> goes idle it is closed. When the index is read again it is re-opened.
> It uses another thread to periodically check when the reader needs to be 
> refreshed due to a change to index. When the reader is stale, it closes the 
> reader and reopens the index.
> It is acually delegating all the work to another IndexReader implementation and 
> just handling the threading and synchronization. When it closes a reader, it 
> delegates the close to another thread that waits a bit (configurable how long) 
> before actually closing the reader it was delegating to. This gives any 
> consumers of the original reader a chance to finish up their last action on the 
> reader.
> This implementation sacrifices a little bit of speed since there is a bit more 
> synchroniztion to deal with and the delegation model puts extra calls on the 
> stack, but it should provide long running applications that have idle periods 
> or frequently changing indices from having to open and close readers all the 
> time or hold open unused resources.
