A quick and easy way to solve this is to use a read write lock
on the byte pool?
{quote}
If you use a RW lock then the writer thread will block all reader threads while
it's making changes. The writer thread will be making changes all the time in
a real-time search environment. The contention will kill performance I'm sure.
RW lock is only faster than mutual exclusion lock if writes are infrequent, as
mentioned in the javadocs of ReadWriteLock.java
> 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:
