kkewwei commented on LUCENE-10265:
----------------------------------

Yes, you are right, I read it wrong.

If we should lower the value, or it can be change by the outside. e will use io 
to build index, search, merge, after all, Slow disks(hdd) are so common, it can 
only support Hundreds of MB/s write, if the merge speed is too high, it will 
affect index and search.

> IO write throttle rate will beyond the Ceiling(1024MB/s) in the merge

>             Project: Lucene - Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core/other
>    Affects Versions: 8.6.2

>            Priority: Major

> It's known that merge io write throttle rate is under the control  of 
> `targetMBPerSec` In ConcurrentMergeSchedule, it should't beyond the 
> Ceiling(1024MB/s).
> `targetMBPerSec` is shared by many merge threads, it will be changed by the 
> way:
> {code:java}
> if (newBacklog) {
>       // This new merge adds to the backlog: increase IO throttle by 20%
>       targetMBPerSec *= 1.20; 
>       if (targetMBPerSec > MAX_MERGE_MB_PER_SEC) {
>         targetMBPerSec = MAX_MERGE_MB_PER_SEC;
>       }
>       ......
> } else {
>       // We are not falling behind: decrease IO throttle by 10%
>       targetMBPerSec /= 1.10;
>       if (targetMBPerSec < MIN_MERGE_MB_PER_SEC) {
>         targetMBPerSec = MIN_MERGE_MB_PER_SEC;
>       }
>      ......
> }
> {code}
> The modification process is not a atomic operation:
> # `targetMBPerSec` is changed by the first merge thread from 1024 to 1024*1.2
> # other merge thread will read the new value(1024*1.2).
> # the first merge thread limit the value to be 1024.
> The bad case will happen.
> In product, we do find that IO write throttle rate is beyond the 
> Ceiling(1024MB/s) in the merge.
