> Spinoff from http://lucene.markmail.org/thread/4li6bbomru35qn7w
> 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.
