Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-1618:
------------------------------------------
{quote}For an NRT writer using RAMDir for recently flushed tiny
segments (LUCENE-1313), the gains are more about the speed of
reading/writing many tiny files. Probably we should try
[somehow] to test this case, to see if LUCENE-1313 is even a
worthwhile optimization.{quote}
True a test would be good, how many files per second would it
produce?
When testing the realtime and the .del files (which are created
numerously before LUCENE-1516) the slowdown was quite dramatic
as it's not a sequential write which means the disk head can
move each time. That coupled with merges going on which
completely ties up the IO I think it's hard for small file
writes to not slow down with a rapidly updating index.
An index that is being updated rapidly presumably would be
performing merges more often to remove deletes.
