I'll make sure no indexing is started before the optimization is done. Most likely Sunday will be the optimization day for the indexes and every other night the documents will be added to the index.
Only searching will be available through the web service while optimizing, but this should not be a problem as an IndexReader will be opened, not a second IndexWriter.

Aka, if someone using your web interface tries to add a new document to the index while you have the optimizer running standalone, the web interface is not going to be able to get a lock on the index to add the documents.
