Digy commented on LUCENENET-190:
--------------------------------
Hi Michael,
How do you think the API should be to disable the cache?
- A method in IndexWriter passing the boolean value to SegmentReader which in
turn passes it to TermInfosReader like
public void TermInfosReaderCacheUsage(bool UseCache) //but it seems
like diversion from Lucene.Java
or
- A static variable in SupportClass like "EnableTermInfosReaderCache" which
is true by default.

> Hooray Doug!
> We are using the committed version of 2.4.0 in production and I wanted to
> share a performance issue we discovered and what we've done to work around
> it. From the Java Lucene change log: "LUCENE-1195: Improve term lookup
> performance by adding a LRU cache to the TermInfosReader. In performance
> experiments the speedup was about 25% on average on mid-size indexes with
> ~500,000 documents for queries with 3 terms and about 7% on larger indexes
> with ~4.3M documents."
> The Java implementation uses a LinkedHashMap within the class
> org.apache.lucene.util.cache.SimpleLRUCache, which is very efficient at
> maintaining the cache. As there is no equivalent collection in .Net The
> current 2.4.0 port uses a combination of a LinkedList to maintain LRU state
> and a HashTable to provide lookups. While this implementation works,
> maintaining the LRU state via the LinkedList creates a fair amount of
> overhead and can result in a significant reduction of performance, most
> likely attributed to the LinkedList.Remove method being O(n). As each thread
> maintains its own cache of 1024 terms, these overhead in performing the
> removal is a drain on performance.
> At this time we have disabled the cache in the method
> TermInfosReader.TermInfo Get(Term term, bool useCache) by always setting the
> useCache parameter to false inside the body of the method. After doing this
> we saw performance return back to the 2.3.2 levels. I have not yet had the
> opportunity to experiment with other implementations within the
> SimpleLRUCache to address the performance issue. One approach that would
> might solve the issue is to use the HashedLinkedList<T> class provided in the
> C5 collection library [http://www.itu.dk/research/c5/].
