I ran a performance test for interleaved adds and removes - and compared
between IndexModifier and NewIndexModifier.
Few setups were tested, with a few combinations of "consecutive adds before a
delete takes place", maxBufferredDocs, and "number of total test iterations",
where each iteration does the conseutive adds and then does the deletes.
Each setup ran in this order - orig indexModifier, new one, orig, new one, and
the best time out of the two runs was used.
Results indicate that NewIndexModifier is far faster for most setups.
Attached is the performance test, the performance results, and the log of the
run. The performance test is written as a Junit test, and it fails in case the
original IndexModfier is faster than the new one by more than 1 second (smaller
than 1 sec difference is considered noise).
Test was run on XP (SP1) with IBM JDK 1.5.
Test was first failing with "access denied" errors due to what seems to be an
XP issue. So in order to run this test on XP (and probably other Windows
platforms) the patch from http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-665
should be applied first.
It is interesting to notice that in addition to preformance gain,
NewIndexModifier seems less sensitive to "access denied" XP problems, because
it closes/reopens readers and writers less frequently, and indeed, at least in
my runs, these errors had to be bypassed (by the "retry" patch) only for the
current index-modifier.

> Today, applications have to open/close an IndexWriter and open/close an
> IndexReader directly or indirectly (via IndexModifier) in order to handle a
> mix of inserts and deletes. This performs well when inserts and deletes
> come in fairly large batches. However, the performance can degrade
> dramatically when inserts and deletes are interleaved in small batches.
> This is because the ramDirectory is flushed to disk whenever an IndexWriter
> is closed, causing a lot of small segments to be created on disk, which
> eventually need to be merged.
> We would like to propose a small API change to eliminate this problem. We
> are aware that this kind change has come up in discusions before. See
> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/23049?search_string=indexwriter%20delete;#23049
> . The difference this time is that we have implemented the change and
> tested its performance, as described below.
> API Changes
> -----------
> We propose adding a "deleteDocuments(Term term)" method to IndexWriter.
> Using this method, inserts and deletes can be interleaved using the same
> IndexWriter.
> Note that, with this change it would be very easy to add another method to
> IndexWriter for updating documents, allowing applications to avoid a
> separate delete and insert to update a document.
> Also note that this change can co-exist with the existing APIs for deleting
> documents using an IndexReader. But if our proposal is accepted, we think
> those APIs should probably be deprecated.
> Coding Changes
> --------------
> Coding changes are localized to IndexWriter. Internally, the new
> deleteDocuments() method works by buffering the terms to be deleted.
> Deletes are deferred until the ramDirectory is flushed to disk, either
> because it becomes full or because the IndexWriter is closed. Using Java
> synchronization, care is taken to ensure that an interleaved sequence of
> inserts and deletes for the same document are properly serialized.
> We have attached a modified version of IndexWriter in Release 1.9.1 with
> these changes. Only a few hundred lines of coding changes are needed. All
> changes are commented by "CHANGE". We have also attached a modified version
> of an example from Chapter 2.2 of Lucene in Action.
> Performance Results
> -------------------
> To test the performance our proposed changes, we ran some experiments using
> the TREC WT 10G dataset. The experiments were run on a dual 2.4 Ghz Intel
> Xeon server running Linux. The disk storage was configured as RAID0 array
> with 5 drives. Before indexes were built, the input documents were parsed
> to remove the HTML from them (i.e., only the text was indexed). This was
> done to minimize the impact of parsing on performance. A simple
> WhitespaceAnalyzer was used during index build.
> We experimented with three workloads:
> - Insert only. 1.6M documents were inserted and the final
> index size was 2.3GB.
> - Insert/delete (big batches). The same documents were
> inserted, but 25% were deleted. 1000 documents were
> deleted for every 4000 inserted.
> - Insert/delete (small batches). In this case, 5 documents
> were deleted for every 20 inserted.

> Insert only 116 min 119 min 116 min
> Insert/delete (big batches) -- 135 min 125 min
> Insert/delete (small batches) -- 338 min 134 min
> As the experiments show, with the proposed changes, the performance
> improved by 60% when inserts and deletes were interleaved in small batches.
