Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3653:
---------------------------------------
Hi,
short comment about your code and how to remove parts of the sync:
- The SegmentCoreReaders sync cannot be removed in Lucene 3.x, as segments are
read/write. You can remove the synchronization partly in *your* Lucene instance
by patching it, the risk is on your side! This is not a bug in Lucene. In
Lucene trunk, most of this sync is removed as IndexReaders will be pure
read-only. We are currently working on removing contention in SegmentReader's
SegmentCore.
- You are not resusing the Analyzer. Create *one* analyzer instance and reuse
it for indexing and for QueryParser! When you do this, you will see no
contention on TokenStream creation (VirtualMethod.getImplementationDistance,
AttributeSource.getAttributeInterfaces). TokenStream creation by Analyzers is a
heavy operation (not only the reflection cache contention), so use only one
Analyzer per app and pass it to all you QueryParsers. Removing sync from
AttributeSource/VirtualMethod caches will corrupt the cache and cause bugs -
but thats unneeded if you reuse as already said.

> I've noticed that when doing thousands of searches in a single thread the
> average time is quite low i.e. a few milliseconds. When adding more
> concurrent searches doing exactly the same search the average time increases
> drastically.
> I've profiled the search classes and found that the whole of lucene blocks on
> org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentCoreReaders.getTermsReader
> org.apache.lucene.util.VirtualMethod
> public synchronized int getImplementationDistance
> org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeSourcew.getAttributeInterfaces
> These cause search times to increase from a few milliseconds to up to 2
> seconds when doing 500 concurrent searches on the same in memory index. Note:
> That the index is not being updates at all, so not refresh methods are called
> at any stage.
> Some questions:
> Why do we need synchronization here?
> There must be a non-lockable solution for these, they basically cause
> lucene to be ok for single thread applications but disastrous for any
> concurrent implementation.
> I'll do some experiments by removing the synchronization from the methods of
> these classes.
