Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2324:
------------------------------------------

bq. only one DW flushes at a time (the others keep indexing).

I think it's best to simply flush at 90% for now. We already
exceed the ram buffer size because of over allocation? Perhaps
we can view the ram buffer size as a rough guideline not a hard
and fast limit because, lets face it, we're using Java which is
about as inexact when it comes to RAM consumption as it gets?
Also, hopefully it would move the patch along faster and more
complex algorithms could easily be added later.

> I'm copying here Mike's summary he posted on 2293:
> Change the approach for how we buffer in RAM to a more isolated
> approach, whereby IW has N fully independent RAM segments
> in-process and when a doc needs to be indexed it's added to one of
> them. Each segment would also write its own doc stores and
> "normal" segment merging (not the inefficient merge we now do on
> flush) would merge them. This should be a good simplification in
> the chain (eg maybe we can remove the *PerThread classes). The
> segments can flush independently, letting us make much better
> concurrent use of IO & CPU.
