Keeping the IndexWriter open?

Hi all,

are there any potential dangers in keeping the IndexWriter (which is a
singleton in my app) open throughout the whole application life?

I have tested it shortly, and it seems to be working fine...

Am I missing some pitfalls and caveats?

Thanks

This is perfectly fine.  This then makes it possible to use
near-real-time readers (IndexWriter.getReader) after you've updated to
the index, for fast turnaround on searching.
