Hello all,
My index will get update very frequently.
1) When shall i need to optimize IndexWriter? I have planned to
optimize every day. Is that fine.
Probably you should test in your app, to see if optimization is even
necessary and if so, at what frequency. Optimize() is quite costly in
IO and if done on the same machine doing searches will likely slow
down the searches.
2) When shall i need to re-open IndexReader and IndexSearcher? I
have planned to do it every 10 minutes.
This is your design choice: how costly is it when your users receive
stale results? How frequently do you add/update docs to the index?
3) IndexSearcher could be used across threads. If i have to re-open
the IndexReader and IndexSearcher, then it should be synchronized.
If i try to do this then i am ending up in doing complete search
functionality in synchronization. Is there any better way to do that.
synchronized void search() {
You can continue to use the old searcher even while a new IndexReader
is being reopened, so, searches need not be synchronized.
However, once the reopen finishes (and, any warming that you need to
do completes) the "swap out" of the old searcher for the new one must
be done carefully such that new searches immediately start using the
new searcher, and you do not close the old searcher until all running
searches are done with it.
