      when I reindex the database (necessary whenever doing bulk updates via sql), it affects all users in the system at the time – nobody can search while the index is being rebuilt. it would be better/safer to build new indexes in a new location and do a quick swap-out of the old ones, to minimize impact on end-users.

            Hi
            We developed a plugin that can do full or partial background re-indexing without any downtimes.

            This is a good idea. The ability for users to be able to access Jira in read-only mode while indexing occurs would be awesome.

            I guess what I was suggesting wasn't writing the index from multiple threads, but to write the index to a separate location and still be able to read the old index meanwhile)

            This is not really possible, as Lucene doesn't allow you to write to indexes from multiple threads.
