Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-994:
------------------------------------
Well that would explain a lot then. I use both the concurrent merge and
autocommit=false, where in the past I did not. Before that I certainly did seem
to be able to count on it, as long as it was sequential in the same thread. I
never *wanted* to count on it, but when other developers start using your
libraries in ways you never intended or okay'd...so much for ever warming
searchers.
Isn't this a problem for certain unit tests? After adding a bunch of docs and
then searching to see if they are there must you pause for a bit to make sure
enough ms have passed?
> Change defaults in IndexWriter to maximize "out of the box" performance

> Key: LUCENE-994

> This is follow-through from LUCENE-845, LUCENE-847 and LUCENE-870;
> I'll commit this once those three are committed.
> Out of the box performance of IndexWriter is maximized when flushing
> by RAM instead of a fixed document count (the default today) because
> documents can vary greatly in size.
> Likewise, merging performance should be faster when merging by net
> segment size since, to minimize the net IO cost of merging segments
> over time, you want to merge segments of equal byte size.
> Finally, ConcurrentMergeScheduler improves indexing speed
> substantially (25% in a simple initial test in LUCENE-870) because it
> runs the merges in the backround and doesn't block
> add/update/deleteDocument calls. Most machines have concurrency
> between CPU and IO and so it makes sense to default to this
> MergeScheduler.
> Note that these changes will break users of ParallelReader because the
> parallel indices will no longer have matching docIDs. Such users need
> to switch IndexWriter back to flushing by doc count, and switch the
> MergePolicy back to LogDocMergePolicy. It's likely also necessary to
> switch the MergeScheduler back to SerialMergeScheduler to ensure
> deterministic docID assignment.
> I think the combination of these three default changes, plus other
> performance improvements for indexing (LUCENE-966, LUCENE-843,
> LUCENE-963, LUCENE-969, LUCENE-871, etc.) should make for some sizable
> performance gains Lucene 2.3!
