Stefan Egli commented on OAK-4412:
----------------------------------
[~tomek.rekawek], another point re the sync-commitEditor vs async-observation
handling of updating local indexing and the resulting problem that going via
async-observation: what could be done is to stick to async (with the advantage
to not burden commits) but handle the resulting issue that the index would be
slightly delayed with trying to delay the query (if the index it would use is
indeed 'behind') until the index is updated. This would move the potential
performance hit from commit-time to index-time.

> When running Oak in a cluster, each write operation is expensive. After
> performing some stress-tests with a geo-distributed Mongo cluster, we've
> found out that updating property indexes is a large part of the overall
> traffic.
> The asynchronous index would be an answer here (as the index update won't be
> made in the client request thread), but the AEM requires the updates to be
> visible immediately in order to work properly.
> The idea here is to enhance the existing asynchronous Lucene index with a
> synchronous, locally-stored counterpart that will persist only the data since
> the last Lucene background reindexing job.
> The new index can be stored in memory or (if necessary) in MMAPed local
> files. Once the "main" Lucene index is being updated, the local index will be
> purged.
> Queries will use an union of results from the {{lucene}} and
> {{lucene-memory}} indexes.
> The {{lucene-memory}} index, as a local stored entity, will be updated using
> an observer, so it'll get both local and remote changes.
> The original idea has been suggested by [~chetanm] in the discussion for the
> OAK-4233.
