> 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.
