Michael Busch commented on LUCENE-2324:
---------------------------------------

bq. Not all apps index only 140 character docs from all threads 

What a luxury! :)

I think for this same reason the ThreadBinder should have affinity, ie, try to 
schedule the same thread to the same DW, assuming it's free. If it's not free 
and another DW is free you should use the other one.

If you didn't have such an affinity but use a random assignment of DWs to 
threads, would that balance the RAM usage across DWs without a global RAM 
management?

> I'm copying here Mike's summary he posted on 2293:
> Change the approach for how we buffer in RAM to a more isolated
> approach, whereby IW has N fully independent RAM segments
> in-process and when a doc needs to be indexed it's added to one of
> them. Each segment would also write its own doc stores and
> "normal" segment merging (not the inefficient merge we now do on
> flush) would merge them. This should be a good simplification in
> the chain (eg maybe we can remove the *PerThread classes). The
> segments can flush independently, letting us make much better
> concurrent use of IO & CPU.
