The "none" doesn't protect at all, so you have to make sure to never open

Sounds a bit dangerous IMHO but I don't think we should stop people
shooting
at their own feet.
As we are enforcing a single indexwriter and all our indexreaders are
readonly since
last release, you may want to use it: I think the current design of
H.Search
doesn't stop us from offering this option.
I've added a note in the docs to use it only if you really understand it.

Well, if you are only using Hibernate Search to access indexes (90% of our
user base) and you deploy on one server (80% of our user base), none is a
compelling solution right? (that's 70% of deployments :))


yes I think it could be used; but I don't think the speed
improvement is anything you could measure, and it is dangerous.
Bad things will happen to your index if you don't know about it and are in the
unlucky 30% of deployments.
Also I'm not sure what crazy things could be using the "Native Lucene" APIs
exposed...
But now at least we don't stop anybody from trying it.
