performance - TimeLimitingCollector Lucene, how to use effectively? - Stack Overflow

Counter can either be thread safe or not - just use the static Counter.newCounter(boolean threadSafe) method to instantiate one that fits you.

Then, let's say we allow 10 ticks and we update ticks in a separate thread. Code should look like this:

Counter clock = Counter.newCounter(true);  TimeLimitingCollector collector = new TimeLimitingCollector(c, clock, 10);  collector.setBaseline(0);    new Thread() {     public void run() {        clock.addAndGet(1);  // will kill the indexSearcher.search(...) after 10 ticks (10 seconds)        Thread.sleep(1000);  // try-catch is necessary here, yes     }  }.start();  indexSearcher.search(query, collector);  

I, however, find the above a bit cumbersome. Guava's TimeLimiter.callWithTimeout(...) looks much cleaner even though not native to Lucene.
