Hi, 

We use Solr, but this seems more like a lucene related issue. So we use lucene 
fieldcache to like this 
static DocTerms myfieldvalues = 
org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCache.DEFAULT.getTerms(reader, "myField");
which is initialized at first use and will stay in memory for fast retrieval of 
field values based on DocID


The problem is after an index/commit, the lucene fieldcache is reloaded in the 
new searcher, but this static list need to updated as well,  what is the best 
way to handle this? Basically we want to update those custom filedcache 
whenever there is a commit. The possible solution I can think of:


1) manually call an request handler to clean up those custom stuffs after 
commit, which is a hack and ugly.
2) use some listener event (not sure whether I can use newSearcher event 
listener in Solr); also there seems to be a lucene ticket 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2474, Allow to plug in a Cache 
Eviction Listener to IndexReader to eagerly clean custom caches that use the 
IndexReader (getFieldCacheKey)), not clear to me how to use it though


Any of your suggestion/comments is much appreciated. Thanks!
