Hi,
Sorry to jump in, but I've been following this thread with interest
:)...
Am I misunderstanding your original observation, that
ThreadedIndexWriter produced smaller index? Did the ThreadedIndexWriter
also finish faster (I'm assuming that it should)?
If the index is smaller, and everything else being good and equal,
doesn't that mean that using ThreadedIndexWriter is a good thing?
Anyway, aside from checking that the # of documents were the same, have
you looked at the index using something like Luke? Does the contents of
the index look the same in both cases, or were they different? If
different, how so (e.g., missing terms, etc.)?
Later,
Jim

Number of docs are the same in the index for both the cases (200,000).
I haven't altered the benchmark/ code, but, used a profiler to verify
that Benchmark main thread is closed only after all other threads
are closed.
Thanks,

Hmm... this doesn't sound right.
That example (ThreadedIndexWriter) is meant to be a drop-in
replacement, wherever you use an IndexWriter, that keeps an
under-the-hood thread pool (using java.util.concurrent.*) to
add/update documents with multiple threads.
It should not result in a smaller index.
Can you sanity check the index? Eg is numDocs() the same for both?
You definitely called close() on the writer, right? That method
waits
for all threads to finish their work before actually closing.

While trying out a few tuning options using contrib/benchmak as
described in
LIA (2nd edition) book, I had an interesting observation.
If I use a ThreadedIndexWriter (picked the example from lia2e, page
356)
instead of IndexWriter, the index size got reduced by 40% compared
to using
IndexWriter.
Index related configuration were the same for both the tests in the
alg
file.
I am curious how come using a threaded index writer will have an
impact on
the index size.
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,
