Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-1717: ----------------------------------------- Maybe I miss something but IndexWriter#setMaxBufferedDeleteTerms can be used to set an upper bound for those terms. Once you hit the upper bound BufferedDeletes should be flushed to disc by calling IndexWriter#flush(). This can happend with either a add or a delete. Maybe I do not completely understand what you mean by materialized. > IndexWriter does not properly account for the RAM consumed by pending deletes > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1717 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1717 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.4.1 > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Fix For: 2.9 > > > IndexWriter, with autoCommit false, is able to carry buffered deletes for > quite some time before materializing them to docIDs (thus freeing up RAM > used). > It's only on triggering a merge (or, commit/close) that the deletes are > materialized and the RAM is freed. > I expect this in practice is a smallish amount of RAM, but we should still > fix it. > I don't have a patch yet so if someone wants to grab this, feel free!! -- 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: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
