Fuad Efendi commented on LUCENE-2230:
-------------------------------------

After long-run load-stress tests...

I used 2 boxes, one with SOLR, another one with simple multithreaded stress 
simulator (with randomply generated fuzzy query samples); each box is 2x AMD 
Opteron 2350 (8 core per box); 64-bit.

I disabled all SOLR caches except Document Cache (I want isolated tests; I want 
to ignore time taken by disk I/O to load document).

Performance boosted accordingly to number of load-stress threads (on "client" 
computer), then dropped: 

9 Threads:
==========
TPS: 200 - 210
Response: 45 - 50 (ms)

10 Threads:
===========
TPS: 200 - 215
Response: 45 - 55 (ms)

12 Threads:
===========
TPS: 180 - 220
Response: 50 - 90 (ms)
 
16 Threads:
===========
TPS: 60 - 65
Response: 230 - 260 (ms)
 

It can be explained by CPU-bound processing and 8 cores available; "top" 
command on SOLR instance was shown 750% - 790% CPU time (8-core) on 3rd step 
(12 stressing threads), and 200% on 4th step (16 stressing threads) - due 
probably to Network I/O, Tomcat internals, etc.

It's better to have Apache HTTPD in front of SOLR in production, with proxy_ajp 
(persistent connections) and HTTP caching enabled; and fine-tune Tomcat threads 
according to use case.

BTW, my best counters for default SOLR/Lucene were:
TPS: 12
Response: 750ms

"Fuzzy" queries were tuned such a way that distance threshold was less than or 
equal two. I used "StrikeAMatch" distance...

>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.0
>         Environment: Lucene currently uses brute force full-terms scanner and 
> calculates distance for each term. New BKTree structure improves performance 
> in average 20 times when distance is 1, and 3 times when distance is 3. I 
> tested with index size several millions docs, and 250,000 terms. 
> New algo uses integer distances between objects.

> Additionally, simplified algorythm at

> logically correct than Levenstein distance, and it is 3-5 times faster 
> (isolated tests).
