> Lucene's use of WeakHashMap at index time prevents full use of cores on some

> Key: LUCENE-4930
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4930
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 4.2
> Environment: Dell blade system with 16 cores
> Reporter: Karl Wright

> Our project is not optimally using full processing power during under
> indexing load on Lucene 4.2.0. The reason is the
> AttributeSource.addAttribute() method, which goes through a WeakHashMap
> synchronizer, which is apparently single-threaded for a significant amount of
> time. Have a look at the following trace:
> "pool-1-thread-28" prio=10 tid=0x00007f47fc104800 nid=0x672b waiting for
> monitor entry [0x00007f47d19ed000]

> We’ve had to make significant changes to the way we were indexing in order to
> not hit this issue as much, such as indexing using TokenStreams which we
> reuse, when it would have been more convenient to index with just tokens.
> (The reason is that Lucene internally creates TokenStream objects when you
> pass a token array to IndexableField, and doesn’t reuse them, and the
> addAttribute() causes massive contention as a result.) However, as you can
> see from the trace above, we’re still running into contention due to other
> addAttribute() method calls that are buried deep inside Lucene.
> I can see two ways forward. Either not use WeakHashMap or use it in a more
> efficient way, or make darned sure no addAttribute() calls are done in the
> main code indexing execution path. (I think it would be easy to fix
> DocInverterPerField in that way, FWIW. I just don’t know what we’ll run into
> next.)
