Mark Miller commented on SOLR-12833:
------------------------------------
Yeah, it's confusing because Java already has the ida of tryLock basically and
this doesn't match those semantics.
It's also confusing that it returns vBucketLocked. If it throws an exception,
you don't expect it to return true or false. Even now, the semantics of this
method seem confusing.
Maybe this bucket object should work more like a Lock object - you have a
getLock method and a releaseLock method and you always eventually get the lock
or it throws a timeout exception.

> Key: SOLR-12833
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12833
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: update, UpdateRequestProcessors
> Affects Versions: 7.5, master (8.0)
> Reporter: jefferyyuan
> Assignee: Mark Miller
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: master (8.0)
>
>
> There is a synchronize block that blocks other update requests whose IDs fall
> in the same hash bucket. The update waits forever until it gets the lock at
> the synchronize block, this can be a problem in some cases.
>
> Some add/update requests (for example updates with spatial/shape analysis)
> like may take time (30+ seconds or even more), this would the request time
> out and fail.
> Client may retry the same requests multiple times or several minutes, this
> would make things worse.
> The server side receives all the update requests but all except one can do
> nothing, have to wait there. This wastes precious memory and cpu resource.
> We have seen the case 2000+ threads are blocking at the synchronize lock, and
> only a few updates are making progress. Each thread takes 3+ mb memory which
> causes OOM.
> Also if the update can't get the lock in expected time range, its better to
> fail fast.
>
> We can have one configuration in solrconfig.xml:
> updateHandler/versionLock/timeInMill, so users can specify how long they want
> to wait the version bucket lock.
> The default value can be -1, so it behaves same - wait forever until it gets
> the lock.
