When mapping updates happen concurrently with document parsing, bad things can
happen. For instance, when applying a mapping update we first update the Mapping
object which is used for parsing and then FieldNameAnalyzer which is used by
IndexWriter for analysis. So if you are unlucky, it could happen that a document
was parsed successfully without introducing dynamic updates yet IndexWriter does
not see its analyzer yet.
In order to fix this issue, mapping updates are now protected by a write lock
and document parsing is protected by the read lock associated with this write
lock. This ensures that no documents will be parsed while a mapping update is
being applied, so document parsing will either see none of the update or all of
it.
