Today we close/reopen IW when we change the RAM buffer but that's
costly because it means the next NRT reader is a full reopen. The RAM
buffer size setting is a live one in IndexWriter, even if there are no
buffered docs in RAM when you call it.
Separately it would be nice if Lucene let you manage a "reader pool"
that could outlive individual IW instances ...
