Mark Miller updated SOLR-5783:
------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-5783.patch
LGTM. There was a spot it looks like you meant to use newName and used name and
I had to fix a test to get the current tests to pass, but it all looks sound to
me.
> Can we stop opening a new searcher when the index hasn't changed?

> I've been thinking recently about how/when we re-open searchers -- and what
> the overhead of that is in terms of caches and what not -- even if the
> underlying index hasn't changed.
> The particular real world case that got me thinking about this recently is
> when a deleteByQuery gets forwarded to all shards in a collection, and then
> the subsequent (soft)Commit (either auto or explicit) opens a new searcher --
> even if that shard was completley uneffected by the delete.
> It got me wondering: why don't re-use the same searcher when the index is
> unchanged?
> From what I can tell, we're basically 99% of the way there (in
> {{<nrtMode/>}})...
> * IndexWriter.commit is already smart enough to short circut if there's
> nothing to commit
> * SolrCore.openNewSearcher already uses DirectoryReader.openIfChanged to see
> if the reader can be re-used.
> * for "realtime" purposes, SolrCore.openNewSearcher will return the existing
> searcher if it exists and the DirectoryReader hasn't changed
> ...The only reason I could think of for not _always_ re-using the same
> searcher when the underlying DirectoryReader is identical (ie: that last
> bullet above) is in the situation where the "live" schema has changed -- but
> that seems pretty trivial to account for.
> Is there any other reason why this wouldn't be a good idea for improving
> performance?
