Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7778:
--------------------------------------
RAMDirectory is not designed to be fast, only to make testing easier. Maybe you
should switch to {{MMapDirectory}}? You could still have all the index content
in memory by using an index directory on a tmpfs mount or by telling
{{MMapDirectory}} to load the content of the files into memory with
{{MMapDirectory.setPreload(true)}}.
> Remove synchronized from high-contention methods on RAMFile

> Key: LUCENE-7778
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7778
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/store
> Reporter: Steve Mason
> Priority: Minor
>
> When benchmarking RAMDirectory access via multiple threads the methods
> {{RAMFile::numBuffers}} and {{RAMFile::getBuffer}} show up blocking threads
> fairly frequently
> By removing the {{synchronized}} keyword from these methods our internal
> benchmarks show a 2x performance increase under concurrent load.
> I don't think removing {{synchronized}} from these methods is a problem as
> they are read-only and write access to these fields is not synchronized.
> LUCENE-2779 also implies that some ofthe locking on RAMDirectory is not
> necessary
