simultaneous searching and indexing

[Harpreet S Walia <ha...@sansuisoftware.com>]

Hi

I was going through the FAQ and found a mention of thread safety of lucene. From what i understand lucene is not full thread safe . the FAQ is dated 2001 . has there been any improvements on this since then . 

Is it safe to perform search and index operations on the same index simultaneously .

Please pardon me if this question has been asked before.

Thanks and Regards,

Harpreet

I'm not sure as to the status of the FAQ but I've had this discussion
before, and I've used tested Lucene heavily during the last few months, I've
searched it during man y of my repeated full indexing sessions (witch are
extremely exhaustive) and it has not failed me once, and about a month ago I
had a related discussion about concurrent indexing and backup that might
shed some light  on your issue,
