Kumaran,
Below is the code snippet for concurrent writes (i.e. concurrent
updates/deletes etc.) alongwith Search operation using the NRT Manger APIs.
Let me know if you need any other details or have any suggesstion for me :-
public class LuceneEngineInstance implements IndexEngineInstance
{
private final String indexName;
private final String indexBaseDir;
private IndexWriter indexWriter;
private Directory luceneDirectory;
private TrackingIndexWriter trackingIndexWriter;
private ReferenceManager<IndexSearcher> indexSearcherReferenceManager;
// Note : Note that this will only scale well if most searches do not
need to wait for a specific index generation.
private final ControlledRealTimeReopenThread<IndexSearcher>
indexSearcherReopenThread;
private long reopenToken; // index update/delete methods returned token
private static final Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(LuceneEngineInstance.class);
private static final String VERBOSE = "NO"; // read from property file
////////// CONSTRUCTOR & FINALIZE
/**
* Constructor based on an instance of the type responsible of the lucene
index persistence

delegated previously created IndexWriter
trackingIndexWriter = new TrackingIndexWriter(indexWriter);
// [2b]: Create an IndexSearcher ReferenceManager to safelly share
IndexSearcher instances across multiple threads
// Note : applyAllDeletes=true : means each reopened reader is
required to apply all previous deletion operations
// (deleteDocuments or updateDocument/s) up until that point.

true, null);
