Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2324:
--------------------------------------------

One nice side effect of DWPT is it should allow us to get over the 2GB RAM 
buffer limit, assuming you use multiple threads.

Ie I can set my RAM buffer to 10 GB, and if I'm using 5 threads, it should work.

Not sure it's really meaningful in practice, since in past tests I haven't seen 
any gains over ~128 or 256 MB buffer... but maybe that's changed now.

> I'm copying here Mike's summary he posted on 2293:
> Change the approach for how we buffer in RAM to a more isolated
> approach, whereby IW has N fully independent RAM segments
> in-process and when a doc needs to be indexed it's added to one of
> them. Each segment would also write its own doc stores and
> "normal" segment merging (not the inefficient merge we now do on
> flush) would merge them. This should be a good simplification in
> the chain (eg maybe we can remove the *PerThread classes). The
> segments can flush independently, letting us make much better
> concurrent use of IO & CPU.
