LUCENE-7579: sort segments at flush too

Segments are now also sorted during flush, and merging
on a sorted index is substantially faster by using some of the same
bulk merge optimizations that non-sorted merging uses

(cherry picked from commit 4ccb9fb)

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7579:


bq. this backport makes me realize how much better master is by taking doc 
values APIs in its consumers rather than iterables of numbers or BytesRefs!

bq. I know we let it through on master, but now that I look at them again, I 
don't like the catch Trowable blocks we have around abort(), can get rid of 
them?

Let's be sure to fix this (and other feedback here) in master too?

Can you upgrade this {{assert}} in {{IndexWriter.java}} to instead throw a 
{{CorruptIndexException}}?

{noformat}
+} else if (segmentIndexSort == null) {
+  // Flushed segments are not sorted if they were built with a version 
prior to 6.4.0
+  assert info.info.getVersion().onOrAfter(Version.LUCENE_6_4_0) == 
false;
{noformat}

Maybe that's overly paranoid, but I want to make sure we can safely assume this 
going forward: no segment should even be unsorted if you are using an index 
sort.

In {{SortingLeafReader.java}} a small typo ({{fo BWC}} -> {{for BWC}}):

{noformat}
* {@link Sort}. This is package private and is only used by Lucene fo BWC when 
it needs to merge
{noformat}

Otherwise this looks great!  It's a big change ... let's push it for jenkins to 
chew on!  Thank you [~jim.ferenczi].

Thanks @jpountz !
I pushed another iteration that hopefully addresses your comments. 
finalValues are now set in finish rather than in flush or getDocComparator.
The LongSelector has been replaced by a LongToIntFunction and the duplicated 
code is removed.
I've also removed the catch Throwable when we abort the stored fields consumer.

Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7579:

Thanks Jim, I just had a look. It looks good overall, this backport makes me 
realize how much better master is by taking doc values APIs in its consumers 
rather than iterables of numbers or BytesRefs!
 - In NumericDocValuesWriter and SortedNumericDocValuesWriter, I think it'd be 
cleaner to set finalValues in {{finish}} than in {{flush}}
 - Do we really need the count method on LongSelector? On a related note, it 
seems to me that we could save some copy-pasting by extracting the logic to get 
a long value from a given doc id? Right now for all sort fields we duplicate 
the logic that first checks docsWithField to return the missing value twice.
 - OrdSelector looks unused

I know we let it through on master, but now that I look at them again, I don't 
like the {{catch Trowable}} blocks we have around abort(), can get rid of them?

I have a candidate branch for the backport in 6.x:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/compare/branch_6x...jimczi:flush_sort_6x?expand=1

I had to adapt the code to use the random access DocValues so it's more a 
rewrite than a back port.

[~jpountz] [~mikemccand] could you please take a look ?

Wow this change gave a big jump in indexing throughput when index sorting is 
used: 
https://home.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/sparseResults.html#index_throughput

You can see the flush time went up but the merge time went way down.

bq. I think (later, separate issue) we could use a more naive stored fields 
(and term vectors) format for the temp files written at flush ... a format that 
does no compression, just writes bytes to disk, maybe has simple in-memory 
array pointing to offset in the file for each document ...

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7579:


Patch looks great to me!

I think (later, separate issue) we could use a more naive stored fields (and 
term vectors) format for the temp files written at flush ... a format that does 
no compression, just writes bytes to disk, maybe has simple in-memory array 
pointing to offset in the file for each document ... this format would be 
package private to oal.index.  Later!  This patch is great, progress not 
perfection.

bq. I think we should look into forbidding that (in a different issue).

+1

I'll merge this soon to master so we can get it baking ...

bq.  IndexWriter.addIndexes uses the merge to add indices that could be unsorted

I pushed another commit that removes the specialized API for sorting a 
StoredFieldsWriter. This is now done directly in the StoredFieldsConsumer with 
a custom CopyVisitor (copied from MergeVisitor).
I've also added some asserts that check if unsorted segments were built from 
version prior to Lucene 7.0. We'll need to change the assert when this gets 
backported to 6.x. I could not add the assert on maybeSortReaders because 
IndexWriter.addIndexes uses the merge to add indices that could be unsorted. I 
don't know if this should be allowed or not but we can revisit this later. 
Other than that I think it's ready !

This new API is maybe a premature optim that should not be part of this change. 
What about removing the API and rollback to a non optimized copy that "visits" 
each doc and copy it like the StoredFieldsReader is doing? This way the 
function would be private on the StoredFieldsConsumer. We can still add the 
optimization you're describing later but it can be confusing if the writes of 
the index writer are not compressed the same way than the other writes for 
stored fields ?

bq. I am not happy that I had to add this new public API in the 
StoredFieldsReader but it's the only way to make this optimized for the 
compressing case. 

I was thinking about it too and I suspect the optimization does not bring much 
in the case that blocks contain multiple documents (ie. small docs) since I 
would expect the fact that sorting the stored fields format keeps decompressing 
blocks of 16KB for every single document to be the bottleneck? Maybe we should 
not try to reuse the codec's stored fields format for the temporary stored 
fields and rather do the buffering in memory or on disk with a custom format 
that has faster random-access? I would expect it to be faster in many cases, 
and would allow to get rid of this new API?

{quote}

That's true for the only call we make to this new API but since it's public it 
could be call with a different fields reader in another use case ? I am not 
happy that I had to add this new public API in the StoredFieldsReader but it's 
the only way to make this optimized for the compressing case. 

{quote}
It would personally help me to have comments eg. in MergeState.maybeSortReaders 
that the indexSort==null case may only happen for bwc reasons. Maybe we should 
also assert that if index sorting is configured, then the non-sorted segments 
can only have 6.2 or 6.3 as a version
{quote}

Agreed, I'll add an assert for the non-sorted case. I'll also add a comment to 
make it clear that index==null is handled for BWC reason in maybeSortReader.

Thanks for having a look [~jpountz]

 * It would personally help me to have comments eg. in

We can still rewrite it to a SortingCodecReader and remove the

I think we should push first to master, and let that bake some, and in the mean

Agreed. I'll create a branch for the back port in my repo.

I'll wait a day or so before committing to give others a chance to review; it's

That's awesome [~mikemccand] ! Thanks for the review and testing.

Wow, this patch brings the "sparse sorted" indexing time down from 448.5 
seconds on master as a few days ago, to 299.8 seconds, a 33% speedup!  Nice.

bq. We still need to wrap unsorted segments during the merge for BWC so 
SortingLeafReader should remain.

OK I agree, oh well :)

The latest squashed commit looks great; it passes tests and precommit for me.  
I'll test with sparse taxis benchmark too, but this looks ready!

I noticed you also optimized merging of stored fields in the sorted case, when 
field infos are congruent (common), by permuting the docIDs to the sort, but 
simply bulk-copying the already serialized bytes.

I'll wait a day or so before committing to give others a chance to review; it's 
a large change.

I think we should push first to master, and let that bake some, and in the mean 
time work out the challenging 6.x back port?

I pushed another iteration to

I cleaned up the nocommit and added the implementation for sorting term vectors.

Do any of the exceptions tests for IndexWriter get angry? Seems like
if we hit an IOException e.g. during the renaming that
SortingStoredFieldsConsumer.flush does we may leave undeleted

I added an abort method on the StoredFieldsWriter which deletes the remaining 
temporary files and did the same for the SortingTermVectorsConsumer.

[~mikemccand] can you take a look ?

Thanks Mike, 

{quote}
Can we rename freezed to frozen in BinaryDocValuesWriter?
But: why would freezed ever be true when we call flush?
Shouldn't it only be called once, even in the sorting case?
{quote}

This is a leftover that is not needed. The naming was wrong ;) and it's useless 
so I removed it.

{quote}
I also like how you were able to re-use the SortingXXX from
SortingLeafReader. Later on we can maybe optimize some of these;
e.g. SortingFields and CachedXXXDVs should be able to take
advantage of the fact that the things they are sorting are all already
in heap (the indexing buffer), the way you did with
MutableSortingPointValues (cool).
{quote}

Totally agree, we can revisit later and see if we can optimize memory. I think 
it's already an optim vs master in terms of memory usage since we only "sort" 
the segment to be flushed instead of all "unsorted" segments during the merge.

{quote}
Can we block creating a SortingLeafReader now (make its
constructor private)? We only now ever use its inner classes I think?
And it is a dangerous class in the first place... if we can do that,
maybe we rename it SortingCodecUtils or something, just for its
inner classes.
{quote}

We still need to wrap unsorted segments during the merge for BWC so 
SortingLeafReader should remain. I have no idea when we can remove it since 
indices on older versions should still be compatible with this new one ?

Honestly I have no idea. I will dig.

Can't you just pass sortMap::newToOld directly (method reference)

Indeed, thanks.

{quote}
I think the 6.x back port here is going to be especially tricky 
{quote}

I bet but as it is the main part is done by reusing SortingLeafReader inner 
classes that exist in 6.x. 

I've also removed a nocommit in the AssertingLiveDocsFormat that now checks 
live docs even when they are sorted.

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7579:


This is a nice approach!  Basically, the codec remains unaware index
sorting is happening, which is a the right way to do it.  Instead, the
indexing chain takes care of it.  And to build the doc comparators you take
advantage of the in-heap buffered doc values.

I like that to sort stored fields, you are still just using the codec
APIs, writing to temp files, then using the codec to read the stored
fields back for sorting.

I also like how you were able to re-use the {{SortingXXX}} from
{{SortingLeafReader}}.  Later on we can maybe optimize some of these;
e.g. {{SortingFields}} and {{CachedXXXDVs}} should be able to take
advantage of the fact that the things they are sorting are all already
in heap (the indexing buffer), the way you did with
{{MutableSortingPointValues}} (cool).

Can we rename {{freezed}} to {{frozen}} in {{BinaryDocValuesWriter}}?
But: why would {{freezed}} ever be true when we call {{flush}}?
Shouldn't it only be called once, even in the sorting case?

I think the 6.x back port here is going to be especially tricky :)

Can we block creating a {{SortingLeafReader}} now (make its

{{SortingStoredFieldsConsumer.flush}} does we may leave undeleted
files?  Hmm or perhaps IW takes care of that by wrapping the directory

Can't you just pass {{sortMap::newToOld}} directly (method reference)
instead of making the lambda here?:

{noformat}
  writer.sort(state.segmentInfo.maxDoc(), mergeReader, state.fieldInfos,
  (docID) -> (sortMap.newToOld(docID)));

I'll have a look at the change!  It looks like a doozie :)

[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-7579) Sorting on flushed segment

I ran the test from a clean state and I can see a nice improvement with the 
sparsetaxis use case. 

I use 
https://github.com/mikemccand/luceneutil/blob/master/src/python/sparsetaxis/runBenchmark.py
 and compare two checkouts of Lucene, one with my branch and the other with 
master.
For the master branch I have:
{noformat}
838.0 sec:  20.0 M docs;  23.9 K docs/sec
{noformat}

... vs the branch with the flush sort:
{noformat}
 612.2 sec:  20.0 M docs;  32.7 K docs/sec
{noformat}

I reproduce the same diff on each run :)
