Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2164: -------------------------------------------- Actually, I'd like to explore the throttling, just within CMS, with this issue. I have a crude prototype working and it's actually quite simple... I think this is a good way to force the prioritization of different threads. > Make CMS smarter about thread priorities > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2164 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.1 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2164.patch > > > Spinoff from LUCENE-2161... > The hard throttling CMS does (blocking the incoming thread that wants > to launch a new merge) can be devastating when it strikes during NRT > reopen. > It can easily happen if a huge merge is off and running, but then a > tiny merge is needed to clean up recently created segments due to > frequent reopens. > I think a small change to CMS, whereby it assigns a higher thread > priority to tiny merges than big merges, should allow us to increase > the max merge thread count again, and greatly reduce the chance that > NRT's reopen would hit this. -- 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
