Make CMS smarter about thread priorities
----------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-2164
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2164
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Index
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.1
Spinoff from LUCENE-2161...
The hard throttling CMS does (blocking the incoming thread that wants
to launch a new merge) can be devastating when it strikes during NRT
reopen.
It can easily happen if a huge merge is off and running, but then a
tiny merge is needed to clean up recently created segments due to
frequent reopens.
I think a small change to CMS, whereby it assigns a higher thread
priority to tiny merges than big merges, should allow us to increase
the max merge thread count again, and greatly reduce the chance that
NRT's reopen would hit this.
