Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2814:
--------------------------------------------

OK I dug here... the reason why TestNRTThreads fails is because you moved the 
numDocsInRAM++ out of DW.getThreadState into WaitQueue.writeDocument.

When we buffer del terms in DW.deleteTerm/Terms/Query/Queries, we grab the 
current numDocsInRAM as the "docID upto", to record when it comes time to apply 
the delete which docID we must stop at.

But with your change, this value is now an undercount, since numDocsInRAM is 
now acting like numDocsInStore.

One way to fix this would be to change the delete methods to use nextDocID 
instead of numDocsInRAM?

But I think I'd prefer to put back numDocsInRAM++ in getThreadState...

> Shared doc stores enables the files for stored fields and term vectors to be 
> shared across multiple segments.  We've had this optimization since 2.1 I 
> think.
> It works best against a new index, where you open an IW, add lots of docs, 
> and then close it.  In that case all of the written segments will reference 
> slices a single shared doc store segment.
> This was a good optimization because it means we never need to merge these 
> files.  But, when you open another IW on that index, it writes a new set of 
> doc stores, and then whenever merges take place across doc stores, they must 
> now be merged.
> However, since we switched to shared doc stores, there have been two 
> optimizations for merging the stores.  First, we now bulk-copy the bytes in 
> these files if the field name/number assignment is "congruent".  Second, we 
> now force congruent field name/number mapping in IndexWriter.  This means 
> this optimization is much less potent than it used to be.
> Furthermore, the optimization adds *a lot* of hair to 
> IndexWriter/DocumentsWriter; this has been the source of sneaky bugs over 
> time, and causes odd behavior like a merge possibly forcing a flush when it 
> starts.  Finally, with DWPT (LUCENE-2324), which gets us truly concurrent 
> flushing, we can no longer share doc stores.
> So, I think we should turn off the write-side of shared doc stores to pave 
> the path for DWPT to land on trunk and simplify IW/DW.  We still must support 
> reading them (until 5.0), but the read side is far less hairy.
