[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2071) Allow updating of IndexWriter SegmentReaders

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2071?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12778641#action_12778641 ]
Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2071:
------------------------------------------
I suspect there's apps out in the wild that could use this (I
recall some of the LinkedIn code could find this useful,
something like Zoie that already has deletes calculated in a doc
set, and I doubt it's the only installation with this use case).
Solr has pre-calculated docsets which could operate on exposed
SRs as well. If we offer this sooner rather than later, then we
needn't worry about users writing crazy workarounds later (i.e.
popping docsets into a filter query) just to perform deletes
when using Lucene NRT.
I'd rather not limit people's using NRT/getReader because they rely
on per doc deletes, which as it turns out is really trivial to
support (when LUCENE-1516 was written, I wasn't fully aware of
how deletes work, now that I know it's all synced on IW, I don't
think it's a big deal).
I guess we should map out what the worst case scenarios are
(i.e. what is the worst thing the user can do with the mutable
SR access?). Then we can specifically limit it?
I'm not sure how the worst case scenario will change when we
refactor the IW APIs? Meaning the user will still need to be
advanced (probably more advanced after offering pluggable IW
APIs). They could still break things (unless we limit what's
breakable), and we'd still basically be offering SR access?
