[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1516) Integrate IndexReader with IndexWriter

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1516?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12720427#action_12720427 ] 

Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-1516:
------------------------------------------

In LogMergePolicy.findMergesToExpungeDeletes I think we need to
change how deletes are checked for. I added this change into
LUCENE-1313, however as we're about to release 2.9, we probably
need to implement it. 

Currently we check the info for deletes, however with this
patch, I think we need to check the segmentReader which could
have deletes that don't show up in the info.

> The current problem is an IndexReader and IndexWriter cannot be open
> at the same time and perform updates as they both require a write
> lock to the index. While methods such as IW.deleteDocuments enables
> deleting from IW, methods such as IR.deleteDocument(int doc) and
> norms updating are not available from IW. This limits the
> capabilities of performing updates to the index dynamically or in
> realtime without closing the IW and opening an IR, deleting or
> updating norms, flushing, then opening the IW again, a process which
> can be detrimental to realtime updates. 
> This patch will expose an IndexWriter.getReader method that returns
> the currently flushed state of the index as a class that implements
> IndexReader. The new IR implementation will differ from existing IR
> implementations such as MultiSegmentReader in that flushing will
> synchronize updates with IW in part by sharing the write lock. All
> methods of IR will be usable including reopen and clone.
