Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2575:
------------------------------------------

The current MultiLevelSkipList* system relies on writing out
fixed length skip list buffers before they are readable. This
obviously will not work for RT so I'm working on modifying MLSL
into new class(es) that writes and reads from the concurrent-ish
BBP. 

In trunk, each level is a RAMOutputStream, that'll nee to
changechange, and each level will likely be a stream keyed into
the BBP. A question is whether we will statically assign the
number of levels prior to the creation of the MLSL, or will we
need to somehow make the number of levels dynamic, in which case
using streams becomes slightly more complicated.

> The current *BlockPool implementations aren't quite concurrent.
> We really need something that has a locking flush method, where
> flush is called at the end of adding a document. Once flushed,
> the newly written data would be available to all other reading
> threads (ie, postings etc). I'm not sure I understand the slices
> concept, it seems like it'd be easier to implement a seekable
> random access file like API. One'd seek to a given position,
> then read or write from there. The underlying management of byte
> arrays could then be hidden?
