Michael are you also going to [first] tackle truly separating the RAM segments?
I think we need this first ...

Yeah I agree. I started working on a patch for separating the doc writers
already.
I also have a separate indexing chain prototype working with searchable RAM
buffer (single-threaded), but slightly different postinglist format (some docs
nowadays only have 140 characters ;) ). It seems really fast. I spent a long
time thinking about lock-free algorithms and data structures, so indexing
performance should be completely independent of the search load (in theory). I
need to think a bit more about how to make it work with "normal" documents and
Lucene's current in-memory format.
> Search on IndexWriter's RAM Buffer

> Key: LUCENE-2312
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2312
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Search
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: Jason Rutherglen
> Assignee: Michael Busch
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> In order to offer user's near realtime search, without incurring
> an indexing performance penalty, we can implement search on
> IndexWriter's RAM buffer. This is the buffer that is filled in
> RAM as documents are indexed. Currently the RAM buffer is
> flushed to the underlying directory (usually disk) before being
> made searchable.
> Todays Lucene based NRT systems must incur the cost of merging
> segments, which can slow indexing.
> Michael Busch has good suggestions regarding how to handle deletes using max
> doc ids.

> The area that isn't fully fleshed out is the terms dictionary,
> which needs to be sorted prior to queries executing. Currently
> IW implements a specialized hash table. Michael B has a
> suggestion here:
