If you want to spend a few bucks, here's part of a reply to a similar question from Mike McCandless a day or so ago....
<<< You can get the book here http://www.manning.com/hatcher3 (NOTE: I'm one of the authors!). Chapter 11 in the book has a class called SearcherManager, that handles the details of reopen/closing the IndexReader while queries are still in flight, that might be useful here. >>> The book is Lucene In Action II. Manning has an "early access program" (MEAP) that lets you get a PDF version. That class is considerably more extensive and handles the edge cases as I remember it....
