Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2312:
------------------------------------------

I set out implementing a simple method DocumentsWriter.getTerms
which should return a sorted array of terms over the current RAM
buffer. While I think this can be implemented, there's a lot of
code in the index package to handle multiple threads, which is
fine, except I'm concerned the interleaving of postings won't
perform well. So I think we'd want to implement what's been
discussed in LUCENE-2293, per thread ram buffers. With that
change, it seems implementing this issue could be
straightforward.

> In order to offer user's near realtime search, without incurring
> an indexing performance penalty, we can implement search on
> IndexWriter's RAM buffer. This is the buffer that is filled in
> RAM as documents are indexed. Currently the RAM buffer is
> flushed to the underlying directory (usually disk) before being
> made searchable. 
> Todays Lucene based NRT systems must incur the cost of merging
> segments, which can slow indexing. 
> Michael Busch has good suggestions regarding how to handle deletes using max 
> doc ids.

> The area that isn't fully fleshed out is the terms dictionary,
> which needs to be sorted prior to queries executing. Currently
> IW implements a specialized hash table. Michael B has a
> suggestion here:
