There has been significant ongoing work in lucene-core for NRT (near real time).
We need to overhaul Solr's DirectUpdateHandler2 to take advantage of

Mark Miller took a first crack at it (sharing a single IndexWriter,
letting lucene handle the concurrency issues, etc)
but if there's a JIRA issue, I'm having trouble finding it.

If you look at trunk, MultiSearcher has already gone away.
