Shai Erera updated LUCENE-2537:

Attachment: LUCENE-2537.patch

Patch adds the following:
* FSIndexOutput overrides copyBytes to do optimized copies as well (when 
possible).
* CompoundFileWriter changed to call copyBytes, instead of using an 
intermediate buffer.
* Some minor typos and code corrections.

*NOTE:* with the changes to CFW, CheckAbort is accessed only after an entire 
file is written. The estimated amount of work is the length copied. This means 
that if abort() is called, it might take a tad longer until CFW will detect it.
I don't think it's serious, since (1) abort() is not called often, (2) for 
small segments this will probably have no effect (OneMerge was accessed roughly 
every ~2MB copied) and (3) as reported, the optimized copy is faster when using 
FileChannel, therefore the time that passes between checks may not be that long.
And there's a (4) -- for really large segments, the amount of work done to 
merge them is far larger than copying them into the CFS. Therefore the chances 
that abort() will be called during that process is relatively small ...

All tests pass.

Patch copies the files in chunks of 2MB. All core tests pass. I'll wait a day 
or two in case someone wants to suggests a different approach, or chunk size 
limit before I commit.

[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-2537) FSDirectory.copy() impl is unsafe

Shai Erera updated LUCENE-2537:

Attachment: FileCopyTest.java

I wrote a test which compares FileChannel API to intermediate buffer copies. 
The test runs each method 3 times and reports the best time of each. It can be 
run w/ different file and chunk sizes.

Here are the results of copying a 1GB file using different chunk sizes (the 
chunk is used as the intermediate buffer size as well).

Machine spec:
* Linux, 64-bit (IBM) JVM
* 2xQuad (+hyper-threading) - 16 cores overall
* 16GB RAM
* SAS HD

||Chunk Size||FileChannel||Intermediate Buffer||Diff||
|64K|1865|1528|{color:red}-18%{color}|
|128K|1660|1526|{color:red}-9%{color}|
|512K|1514|1493|{color:red}-2%{color}|
|1M|1552|2072|{color:green}+33%{color}|
|2M|1488|1559|{color:green}5%{color}|
|4M|1596|1831|{color:green}13%{color}|
|16M|1563|1964|{color:green}21%{color}|
|64M|1494|2442|{color:green}39%{color}|
|128M|1469|2445|{color:green}40%{color}|

For small buffer sizes, intermediate byte[] copies is preferable. However, 
FileChannel method performs pretty much consistently, irregardless of the 
buffer size (except for the first run), while the byte[] approach degrades a 
lot, as the buffer size increases.

I think, given these results, we can use the FileChannel method w/ a chunk size 
of 4 (or even 2) MB, to be on the safe side and don't eat up too much RAM?
