Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-843:
-------------------------------------------

OK I ran tests comparing analyzer performance.

It's the same test framework as above, using the ~5,500 byte Europarl
docs with autoCommit=true, 32 MB RAM buffer, no stored fields nor
vectors, and CFS=false, indexing 200,000 documents.

The SimpleSpaceAnalyzer is my own whitespace analyzer that minimizes
GC cost by not allocating a Term or String for every token in every
document.

Each run is best time of 2 runs:

  ANALYZER            PATCH (sec) TRUNK (sec)  SPEEDUP
  SimpleSpaceAnalyzer  79.0       326.5        4.1 X
  StandardAnalyzer    449.0       674.1        1.5 X
  WhitespaceAnalyzer  104.0       338.9        3.3 X
  SimpleAnalyzer      104.7       328.0        3.1 X

StandardAnalyzer is definiteely rather time consuming!

> I'm working on a new class (MultiDocumentWriter) that writes more than
> one document directly into a single Lucene segment, more efficiently
> than the current approach.
> This only affects the creation of an initial segment from added
> documents.  I haven't changed anything after that, eg how segments are
> merged.
> The basic ideas are:
>   * Write stored fields and term vectors directly to disk (don't
>     use up RAM for these).
>   * Gather posting lists & term infos in RAM, but periodically do
>     in-RAM merges.  Once RAM is full, flush buffers to disk (and
>     merge them later when it's time to make a real segment).
>   * Recycle objects/buffers to reduce time/stress in GC.
>   * Other various optimizations.
> Some of these changes are similar to how KinoSearch builds a segment.
> But, I haven't made any changes to Lucene's file format nor added
> requirements for a global fields schema.
> So far the only externally visible change is a new method
> "setRAMBufferSize" in IndexWriter (and setMaxBufferedDocs is
> deprecated) so that it flushes according to RAM usage and not a fixed
> number documents added.
