It's true that IndexSearcher isn't closed, but it turns out (for now, at least), it's not necessary to close IndexSearcher if you had passed it an already open IndexReader. > 2) I don't understand what happens if the indexreader is reopened while a > thread > in the middle of a search using an indexsearcher. Any already in-flight searches will continue to use the old IndexSearcher, while new ones use the new IndexSearcher. Once all in-flight searches are done against the old IndexSearcher, its underlying IndexReader is closed. > So I am going for something a bit simpler: > > If a thread wants to use the "SafeIndexSearcher", it first calls retain() > and then calls > release() when its done. > > If a thread wants to close the "SafeIndexSearcher" , the close is deferred > until all threads > have called release(): I think this will work, but you need a central place that has called retain() and is holding onto the searcher, until it's time to reopen right? Either that, or your retainCount begins life at 1 instead of 0? Also, how will you handle reopening (if that's needed in your app)?
