Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-1316:
------------------------------------------
I looked at 2.4 and am surprised this patch did not make it in. Read only
IndexReader shouldn't be necessary to solve this issue. Were there any
problems in the unit tests for this patch or something?
> Avoidable synchronization bottleneck in MatchAlldocsQuery$MatchAllScorer

> Key: LUCENE-1316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1316
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query/Scoring
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Todd Feak
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: LUCENE_1316.patch, LUCENE_1316.patch, LUCENE_1316.patch,
> MatchAllDocsQuery.java
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> The isDeleted() method on IndexReader has been mentioned a number of times as
> a potential synchronization bottleneck. However, the reason this bottleneck
> occurs is actually at a higher level that wasn't focused on (at least in the
> threads I read).
> In every case I saw where a stack trace was provided to show the lock/block,
> higher in the stack you see the MatchAllScorer.next() method. In Solr
> paricularly, this scorer is used for "NOT" queries. We saw incredibly poor
> performance (order of magnitude) on our load tests for NOT queries, due to
> this bottleneck. The problem is that every single document is run through
> this isDeleted() method, which is synchronized. Having an optimized index
> exacerbates this issues, as there is only a single SegmentReader to
> synchronize on, causing a major thread pileup waiting for the lock.
> By simply having the MatchAllScorer see if there have been any deletions in
> the reader, much of this can be avoided. Especially in a read-only
> environment for production where you have slaves doing all the high load
> searching.
> I modified line 67 in the MatchAllDocsQuery
> FROM:
> if (!reader.isDeleted(id)) {
> TO:
> if (!reader.hasDeletions() || !reader.isDeleted(id)) {
> In our micro load test for NOT queries only, this was a major performance
> improvement. We also got the same query results. I don't believe this will
> improve the situation for indexes that have deletions.
> Please consider making this adjustment for a future bug fix release.
