Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3653:
-------------------------------------
Sorry, I don't care what Yourkit says: its wrong.
a synchronized method that is just a *getter* only called once per-segment is
*NOT* locking up your search.

> 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.
