Brian Pinkerton commented on LUCENE-753: ---------------------------------------- Most of my workloads would benefit by removing the synchronization in FSIndexInput, so I took a closer look at this issue. I found exactly the opposite results that Yonik did on two platforms that I use frequently in production (Solaris and Linux), and by a significant margin. I even get the same behavior on the Mac, though I'm not running Java6 there. # uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Oct 18 18:39:27 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # java -version java version "1.6.0_02" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode, sharing) config: impl=ChannelPread serial=false nThreads=200 iterations=10 bufsize=1024 filelen=10485760 answer=0, ms=88543, MB/sec=236.85124741650947 config: impl=ClassicFile serial=false nThreads=200 iterations=10 bufsize=1024 filelen=10485760 answer=0, ms=150560, MB/sec=139.29011689691816 # uname -a SunOS xxx 5.10 Generic_118844-26 i86pc i386 i86pc # java -version java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode) config: impl=ChannelPread serial=false nThreads=200 iterations=10 bufsize=1024 filelen=10485760 answer=0, ms=39621, MB/sec=529.3031473208652 config: impl=ClassicFile serial=false nThreads=200 iterations=10 bufsize=1024 filelen=10485760 answer=0, ms=119057, MB/sec=176.14688762525515 > Use NIO positional read to avoid synchronization in FSIndexInput > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-753 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-753 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Store > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Attachments: FileReadTest.java, FSIndexInput.patch, FSIndexInput.patch > > > As suggested by Doug, we could use NIO pread to avoid synchronization on the > underlying file. > This could mitigate any MT performance drop caused by reducing the number of > files in the index format. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
