Yes, I do close the old reader. I have a large index, my system is doing real time updates: 1 thread writing batches of updates to the index, after each index update, it updates the reader. I have two readers open always, one is serving the search requests, while the other updates and the two flips. Reader update implies index reopen here.
I am using my implementation of a FilteredIndexReader. Index leaks very slowly, but obvious. No, I am not able to provide heap dumps. -John On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 4:23 PM, Mark Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As someone that has done a lot of reopens, I can vouch there is no leak > under simple, normal usage.
