The only reason its synchronized is because the setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec method 
is synchronized (I guess to protected from setting the rate limit 
concurrently). In practice, I don't see users changing it that often, so 
concerns about cache lines are not really relevant.

bq. The only reason its synchronized is because the setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec 
method is synchronized (I guess to protected from setting the rate limit 
concurrently). In practice, I don't see users changing it that often, so 
concerns about cache lines are not really relevant.

this make no sense to me. If you don't want to set this concurrently how does a 
lock protect you from this? I mean you if you have two threads accessing this 
you have either A B or B A. but this would happen without a lock too. if you 
want to have the changes to take effect immediately you need to either lock on 
each read on this var or make it volatile which is almost equivalent (a mem 
barrier). 

My concern here was related to make this var volatile which would be a 
cacheline invalidation each time you read the var. I think we should get rid of 
the synchronized.

No, thats not correct. setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec (not the method I added, the 
other one) is a complex method, and I think Mike wanted to protect from two 
threads setting the value concurrently. As for reading the value, I think Mike 
logic was that its not that importnat the have immediate visibility of the 
change to require a volatile field (which is understandable). So, since 
setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec is synchronized, the method added in this patch has to 
be as well.

 My concern here was related to make this var volatile which would be a 
 cacheline invalidation each time you read the var. I think we should get rid 
 of the synchronized.

Reading a volatile var in x86 is not a cache invalidation, though it does come 
with a cost. Its not relevant here based on what I explained before (and second 
guessing Mike :) )

yes unless you are reading and writing it. Yet since this is not intended here 
we don't need to get into details. Bottom line that synchronization doesn't 
make much sense here. we should try to control some order here that we can not 
control. if somebody sets either of those concurrently they should take care of 
synchronization. What should I expect if you set this concurrently? IMO we 
should craft those method to work without synchronization which is certainly 
possible. synchronized here buys us nothing and should be removed.

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3416:


I made setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec sync'd because ie has tricky logic about 
creating a new RateLimiter or reusing an existing one (so current merges can 
see the change on a best effort basis) or clearing the current one... so I 
just wanted to be safe and have only one thread doing this at once; else eg you 
could get NPE I think.

But, probably we should in fact make mergeWriteRateLimiter volatile, just to 
make sure the unsync'd read sees the current value?  The minor added read cost 
should be negligible vs the overhead of creating / writing / closing files.

Shay Banon commented on LUCENE-3416:


I agree with Mike, I think it should remain synchronized, it does safeguard 
concurrently calling setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec from falling over itself (who 
wins the call is not really relevant). Since thats synchronized, the metod I 
added should be as well. Personally, I really don't think there is a need to 
make it thread safe without blocking, since calling the setters is not 
something people do frequently at all, so the optimization is mute, and it will 
complicate the code.

As for making mergeWriteRateLimiter volatile, it can be done. Though, in 
practice, there really is no need to do it (there is a memory barrier when 
reading it before). But, I think that should go in a different issue? Just to 
keep changes clean and isolated?

what about something like that:

{code}
  public void setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec(Double mbPerSec) {
final RateLimiter limiter = mergeWriteRateLimiter;
if (mbPerSec == null) {
  if (limiter != null) {
limiter.setMaxRate(Double.MAX_VALUE);
mergeWriteRateLimiter = null;
  }
} else if (limiter != null) {
  limiter.setMaxRate(mbPerSec);
} else {
  mergeWriteRateLimiter = new RateLimiter(mbPerSec);
}
  }

  /** See {@link #setMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec}.
   *
   * @lucene.experimental */
  public Double getMaxMergeWriteMBPerSec() {
final RateLimiter limiter = mergeWriteRateLimiter;
return limiter == null ? null : limiter.getMaxRateMB();
  }
{code}

I think we can make this simple without any synchronization which is totally 
unnecessary here.

It is possible, but requires more work to do, and depends on overriding the

limiting makes sense on the directory level to be exposed as a feature, I 
think that this small change allows for greater control over it.

I see, I guess that is kind of overkill here. This patch looks fine to me 
though while I wonder why this needs to be synchronized since we don't read it 
from a synced block. if you want this to take immediate effect you should 
rather use volatile here? I doubt that this is necessary in this context - I'd 
rather not invalidate a cache line for each IndexOutput creation.
