Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1997:
--------------------------------------

bq. Java6 is standard in production servers, since when?

Maybe I'm wrong... it  was just a guess. It's just what I've seen most 
customers deploying new projects on.

bq. What justified lucene staying java1.4 for so long if this is the case?

The decision of what JVM a business should use to deploy their new app is a 
very different one than what Lucene should require.
A minority of users may be justification enough to avoid requring a new JVM... 
unless the benefits are really that huge.  Lucene does not target the JVM that 
most people will be deploying on - if that were the case, I have a feeling we'd 
be switching to Java6 instead of Java5.

> Spinoff from recent "lucene 2.9 sorting algorithm" thread on java-dev,
> where a simpler (non-segment-based) comparator API is proposed that
> gathers results into multiple PQs (one per segment) and then merges
> them in the end.
> I started from John's multi-PQ code and worked it into
> contrib/benchmark so that we could run perf tests.  Then I generified
> the Python script I use for running search benchmarks (in
> contrib/benchmark/sortBench.py).
> The script first creates indexes with 1M docs (based on
> SortableSingleDocSource, and based on wikipedia, if available).  Then
> it runs various combinations:
>   * Index with 20 balanced segments vs index with the "normal" log
>     segment size
>   * Queries with different numbers of hits (only for wikipedia index)
>   * Different top N
>   * Different sorts (by title, for wikipedia, and by random string,
>     random int, and country for the random index)
> For each test, 7 search rounds are run and the best QPS is kept.  The
> script runs singlePQ then multiPQ, and records the resulting best QPS
> for each and produces table (in Jira format) as output.
