>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-600
>      Project: Lucene - Java
>         Type: Improvement

>   Components: Index
>     Versions: 2.1
>     Reporter: Chuck Williams
>  Attachments: ParallelWriter.patch
>
> A new class ParallelWriter is provided that serves as a companion to ParallelReader.  ParallelWriter meets all of the doc-id synchronization requirements of ParallelReader, subject to:
>     1.  ParallelWriter.addDocument() is synchronized, which might have an adverse effect on performance.  The writes to the sub-indexes are, however, done in parallel.
>     2.  The application must ensure that the ParallelReader is never reopened inside ParallelWriter.addDocument(), else it might find the sub-indexes out of sync.
>     3.  The application must deal with recovery from ParallelWriter.addDocument() exceptions.  Recovery must restore the synchronization of doc-ids, e.g. by deleting any trailing document(s) in one sub-index that were not successfully added to all sub-indexes, and then optimizing all sub-indexes.
> A new interface, Writable, is provided to abstract IndexWriter and ParallelWriter.  This is in the same spirit as the existing Searchable and Fieldable classes.
> This implementation uses java 1.5.  The patch applies against today's svn head.  All tests pass, including the new TestParallelWriter.
