Hi All, I have a scenario where there are two processes (2 JVMs) accessing the same index. One of them is doing the indexing as documents arrive into the system and the second one servers search queries. Both the processes are running on the same machine.
Is there a need to do some kind of locking. Does the writer process need to know about the reader, for optimal performance of the query server? Using a RAMDirectory<http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/job/Lucene-Nightly/javadoc/org/apache/lucene/store/RAMDirectory.html>for adding documents and then merging it into the main index periodically; would that help in improving the query performance in any way, provided the Searcher is kept open for a long period of time, with reload at intervals. I remember reading a thread of discussion on IndexAccessor. I would like to know what would be the advantage in using IndexAccessor. Many thanks.
