Re: IndexReader.isDeleted synchronization
[In reply to]

Let's do it as a separate patch? The clone patch is already scaring
me enough ;)
Maybe we can allow creation of a read-only IndexReader during open?
Ie, a new open method that takes a "boolean readOnly".
I had been previously thinking that we'd get to a read-only
IndexReader by slurping all write operations into IndexWriter, but, it
seems like that migration will take quite some time....
