Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2026:
------------------------------------------
I think large scale NRT installations may eventually require a
distributed transaction log. The implementation details have yet
to be determined however it could potentially solve the issue of
data loss being discussed. One candidate is a combo of Zookeeper
+ Bookeeper. I would venture to guess this could be implemented
as a part of Solr, however we've got a lot of work to do for
Solr to be reasonably NRT efficient (see the tracking issue
SOLR-1606), and we're just starting on the Zookeeper
implementation SOLR-1277...
> Refactoring of IndexWriter
> --------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2026
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2026
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Michael Busch
> Assignee: Michael Busch
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> I've been thinking for a while about refactoring the IndexWriter into
> two main components.
> One could be called a SegmentWriter and as the
> name says its job would be to write one particular index segment. The
> default one just as today will provide methods to add documents and
> flushes when its buffer is full.
> Other SegmentWriter implementations would do things like e.g. appending or
> copying external segments [what addIndexes*() currently does].
> The second component's job would it be to manage writing the segments
> file and merging/deleting segments. It would know about
> DeletionPolicy, MergePolicy and MergeScheduler. Ideally it would
> provide hooks that allow users to manage external data structures and
> keep them in sync with Lucene's data during segment merges.
> API wise there are things we have to figure out, such as where the
> updateDocument() method would fit in, because its deletion part
> affects all segments, whereas the new document is only being added to
> the new segment.
> Of course these should be lower level APIs for things like parallel
> indexing and related use cases. That's why we should still provide
> easy to use APIs like today for people who don't need to care about
> per-segment ops during indexing. So the current IndexWriter could
> probably keeps most of its APIs and delegate to the new classes.
