Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5248:
------------------------------------
Another option, maybe even unrelated to this issue (but relevant to field
updates in general), is to take ReaderAndLiveDocs into IW's RAM accounting.
Today it's irrelevant since it holds 1-bit per document, but field updates
could hold many more (several longs). We could add to RLD.sizeInBytes, taking
only the field updates into account, and writeLiveDocs if it exceeds the
buffer. Thing is, flush-by-RAM, as far as I understand, does not involve
flushing RALD, so this change may not be that simple. But I'll let Mike/Rob,
who knows this code better than me, comment on that.
> Improve the data structure used in ReaderAndLiveDocs to hold the updates

> Currently ReaderAndLiveDocs holds the updates in two structures:
> +Map<String,Map<Integer,Long>>+
> Holds a mapping from each field, to all docs that were updated and their
> values. This structure is updated when applyDeletes is called, and needs to
> satisfy several requirements:
> # Un-ordered writes: if a field "f" is updated by two terms, termA and termB,
> in that order, and termA affects doc=100 and termB doc=2, then the updates
> are applied in that order, meaning we cannot rely on updates coming in order.
> # Same document may be updated multiple times, either by same term (e.g.
> several calls to IW.updateNDV) or by different terms. Last update wins.
> # Sequential read: when writing the updates to the Directory
> (fieldsConsumer), we iterate on the docs in-order and for each one check if
> it's updated and if not, pull its value from the current DV.
> # A single update may affect several million documents, therefore need to be
> efficient w.r.t. memory consumption.
> +Map<Integer,Map<String,Long>>+
> Holds a mapping from a document, to all the fields that it was updated in and
> the updated value for each field. This is used by IW.commitMergedDeletes to
> apply the updates that came in while the segment was merging. The
> requirements this structure needs to satisfy are:
> # Access in doc order: this is how commitMergedDeletes works.
> # One-pass: we visit a document once (currently) and so if we can, it's
> better if we know all the fields in which it was updated. The updates are
> applied to the merged ReaderAndLiveDocs (where they are stored in the first
> structure mentioned above).
> Comments with proposals will follow next.
