Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2573:
--------------------------------------------

OK I tested trunk vs RT branch + patch, indexing 10M Wikipedia docs
with 1 GB RAM buffer and 8 threads.

Trunk took 298 sec for initial indexing, then 198 sec to wait for
merges to catch up, and 24 sec to commit.

RT+patch took 289 sec for initial indexing, then 225 sec to wait for
merges, then 26 sec to commit.

Not sure yet why I'm not seeing real concurrency gains here... is
there anything printed to infoStream if the safety net (hijack app
threads) kicks in?

> 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?
