             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael McCandless

             Fix For: 3.1, 4.0


Hit this on trying to build up a test index for perf testing...

IndexReader (and Writer) accept an IndexCommit on open.

This is quite powerful, because, if you use a deletion policy that keeps 
multiple commits around, you can open a not-current commit, make some changes, 
write a new commit, all without altering the "future" commits.

I use this to first build up a big wikipedia index, including one commit w/ 
multiple segments, then another commit after optimize(), and then I open an 
writable IR to perform deletions off of both those commits.  This gives me a 
single test index that has all four combinations (single vs multi segment; 
deletions vs no deletions).

But IndexReader has a bug whereby it overwrites the segments_N file.  
(IndexWriter works correctly).
