IndexInput.clone() not thread safe?

[Yonik Seeley <yo...@apache.org>]

It occures to me that IndexInput.clone() probably isn't mt-safe.
If you call clone() on an IndexInput that is being used by another
thread, you can presumably get a new IndexInput that's in an invalid
state.  BufferedIndexInput would seem susceptible.

Are lazy fields unsafe because they clone a potentially active IndexInput?
Are there other places where an IndexInput that is actually used is
cloned?  I checked only TermDocs, and it was OK...
