[Xapian-discuss] flush() definitely required before close()

Greets,

WRT this discussion:
http://lists.xapian.org/pipermail/xapian-discuss/2009-November/007300.html

Richard recommends calling flush() before closing a index database
segment, etc.  Well, I can confirm that calling flush() is *required*
before calling close() since close() on it's own does not commit/flush any
pending writes/whatever unless the Perl script terminates, etc.

So, for a long-lived indexer which creates index segments with new/close,
you'll need new/flush/close.

Cheers
Henry
