Simon Willnauer reassigned LUCENE-4462:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Simon Willnauer
> Publishing flushed segments is single threaded and too costly
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-4462
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4462
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Assignee: Simon Willnauer
>
> Spinoff from http://lucene.markmail.org/thread/4li6bbomru35qn7w
> The new TestBagOfPostings failed the build because it timed out after 2 hours
> ... but in digging I found that it was a starvation issue: the 4 threads were
> flushing segments much faster than the 1 thread could publish them.
> I think this is because publishing segments
> (DocumentsWriter.publishFlushedSegment) is actually rather costly (creates
> CFS file if necessary, writes .si, etc.).
> I committed a workaround for now, to prevent starvation (see svn diff -c
> 1394704 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk), but we really
> should address the root cause by moving these costly ops into flush() so that
> publishing is a low cost operation.
