Simon Willnauer updated LUCENE-4462:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-4462.patch

here is a patch that basically moves the prepareFlushedSegment into DWPT and 
calls it once we are done flushing the segment. The publish call doesn't do any 
IO anymore which is good and should not be a bottleneck. I could imagine that 
if somebody uses CFS this could be a perf win too.

                
> Publishing flushed segments is single threaded and too costly

> The new TestBagOfPostings failed the build because it timed out after 2 hours 
> ... but in digging I found that it was a starvation issue: the 4 threads were 
> flushing segments much faster than the 1 thread could publish them.
> I think this is because publishing segments 
> (DocumentsWriter.publishFlushedSegment) is actually rather costly (creates 
> CFS file if necessary, writes .si, etc.).
> I committed a workaround for now, to prevent starvation (see svn diff -c 
> 1394704 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk), but we really 
> should address the root cause by moving these costly ops into flush() so that 
> publishing is a low cost operation.
