    Description

      NullPointerException is thrown while indexing within multiple threads but using one single IndexWriter instance. According to "Lucene in Action" this should do: "...a single instance of either class can be shared among multiple threads, and all calls to its index-modifying methods will be properly synchronized so that index modifications are executed one after the other."

      Following my exception trace:
