I think IO throttling would be a useful built-in feature.
I imagine many people are actually uknowingly affected by this, when
they make changes to their index on the same machine that also does
simultaneous searching. It's not only optimize() that will cause
this, but also normal flushin
Hi,
We are using lucene to index a large number of documents (millions) and
we currently optimize half the index in the background every 2 days, to
stop it becoming too fragmented. This takes about an hour and we are
finding during this time searches are slowed down dramatically on that
machine.
