Hi,
I am performing the same activity that you have specified. I have indexer as
a thread which starts at the server start up and searcher as a web app.
I am managing the index reader and writer objects using a factory. This
factory is a singleton instance which maintains one writer, reader and a
searcher object. If the objects are null, I create them and if they exists I
return the same objects back.
Now regarding NRT indexed access, currently whenever a new request for the
searcher object comes in, before I return a searcher object, I reopen reader
and check if the old reader and the new readers are same, if not, I assigned
the newly created reader to instance reader object and since by searcher
object is created using reader object, searchers gets access to not yet
committed data.
Code example:
searcher = new IndexSearcher(getIndexReader());
Reader:
getReader()
{
if (reader == null)
{
reader = writer.getReader();
}
else
{
IndexReader newReader = reader.reopen();
if(newReader != reader)
{
//reader.close(); --> Reader.close() may give you errors elsewhere
if you have loosely coupled code, like other thread using that reader for
some other job like MoreLikeThis class
reader = newReader;
}
return reader;
I am able to get newly indexed, not yet committed data in my search results
with this change. I am not checking isCurrent on the reader though that I
will try before opening the reader.
Thanks
Saurabh
