Michael Busch commented on LUCENE-2312:
---------------------------------------
I think sync'ing after every doc is probably the better option. We'll still
avoid the need to make all variables downstream of DocumentsWriter
volatile/atomic, which should be a nice performance gain.
The problem with the delayed sync'ing (after e.g. 100 docs) is that if you
don't have a never-ending stream of twee... err documents, then you might want
to force an explicit sync at some point. But that's very hard, because you
would have to force the writer thread to make e.g. a volatile write via an API
call. And if that's an IndexWriter writer API that has to trigger the sync on
multiple DocumentsWriter instances (i.e. multiple writer threads) I don't see
how that's possible unless Lucene manages it's own thread of pools.
> 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:
