Hi,

AFAIK readers are cloned when they are used inside MultiReader, so I
guess reopening a single reader outside MultiReader has no effect and
reopen on MultiReader reopen all the readers.

So I think there is no way to reopen one specific reader inside a
MultiReader without a new instance of the MultiReader.

IMHO the easy way is to use MultiReader as a normal reader (with
default constructor MultiReader(IndexReader... readers) ), forget the
original readers and use reopen on the MultiReader. It should be
thread-safe.
You should check the sources for more complicated usage.
