Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2573:
------------------------------------------
I was hoping something clever would come to me about how to unit test this,
nothing has. We can do the slowdown of writes to the file(s) via a
Thread.sleep, however this will only emulate a real file system in RAM, what
then? I thought about testing the percentage however is it going to be exact?
We could test a percentage range of each of the segments flushed? I guess I
just need to run the all of the unit tests, however some of those will fail
because deletes aren't working properly yet.

> Now that we have DocumentsWriterPerThreads we need to track total consumed
> RAM across all DWPTs.
> A flushing strategy idea that was discussed in LUCENE-2324 was to use a
> tiered approach:
> - Flush the first DWPT at a low water mark (e.g. at 90% of allowed RAM)
> - Flush all DWPTs at a high water mark (e.g. at 110%)
> - Use linear steps in between high and low watermark: E.g. when 5 DWPTs are
> used, flush at 90%, 95%, 100%, 105% and 110%.
> Should we allow the user to configure the low and high water mark values
> explicitly using total values (e.g. low water mark at 120MB, high water mark
> at 140MB)? Or shall we keep for simplicity the single setRAMBufferSizeMB()
> config method and use something like 90% and 110% for the water marks?
