Doron Cohen updated LUCENE-565:
-------------------------------
Attachment: perf-test-res2.JPG
Updated performance test results - perf-test-res2.JPG - in avarage, the new
code is *9* times faster!
What have changed? - in previous test I forgot to set max-buffered-deletes.
After fixing so, I removed the test cases with max-buffer of 5,000 and up,
because they consumed too much memory, and added more practical (I think) cases
of 2000 and 3000.
Here is a textual summary of the data in the attached image:
max buf add/del 10 10 100 1000 2000 3000
iterations 1 10 100 100 200
300
adds/iteration 10 10 10 10 10

dels/iteration 5 5 5 5 5

orig time (sec) 0.13 0.86 9.57 8.88 22.74
44.01
new time (sec) 0.20 0.95 1.74 1.30 2.16
3.08
Improvement (sec) -0.07 -0.09 7.83 7.58 20.58 40.94
Improvement (%) -55% -11% 82% 85% 90% 93%
Note: for the first two cases new code is slower by 11% and 55%, but this is a
very short test case, - the absolute difference here is less than 100ms,
comparing to the other cases, where the difference is measured in seconds and
10's of seconds.

> 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.
