Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
Sure, I'm fairly new to Lucene but what I was trying to do was make it so that an index could be shared among multiple nodes. If an index is updated in any way it would be updated across the cluster coherently. In my first version I was really only taking advantage of the fact that we detect fine grained changes and can extend synchronization across the cluster but if I can prove to myself that this is actually useful I'll go back and mark some of the synchronize blocks/methods as read locks to improve concurrency and reduce instrumentation to only what is needed. If I'm going to be able to publish the config for what I'm doing I would need to change that one class that I mentioned above becuase we won't support subclasses of collections for a few more months. I'm not a very good writer. Does any of that make sense? Summary would be: Goals, Usefully cluster luncene indexes for across multiple nodes. Questions: Is this useful in the real world Would it be possible to get that one small thing changed.

Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
I don't fully follow, and I don't even have the "it's late!" excuse. It sounds like you want to have the same index on multiple nodes in the cluster and when a data change occurs, you want to synchronously make the same change to all indices in your cluster. Is that it? Solr has a different approach. There, only the master index is modified, while slave servers copy the master index periodically.

: Questions: : Is this useful in the real world : Would it be possible to get that one small thing changed. I'm not really clear on what the "small thing" is that you are asking about ... you mentioned SegmentInfos subclassing Vector, are you proposing an alternative?

Re: Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
Fair question. All I did/need was take SegmentInfos and instead of subclassing Vector I made it contain a Vector. Went from subclassing to aggregation. As far as I could tell from reading the code it would make no difference to anyone and should have no performance impact (good or bad). It just allowed me to cluster the IndexWriter with a RAMDirectory. Maybe a little background would help. Our clustering product doesn't use java serialization and has no API. We just use a little config where one points us to what you want clustered and what java synchronization needs to be shared. One of the limitations that currently exists is that we don't support clustering subclasses of java collections. At this point I'm just experimenting to see if our product can cluster lucene in a useful/performant way. When my experimenting is complete, if everything is positive, I am going to write a blog on clustering lucene indexes but it would be awkward to do that if the people who run through the example have to change lucene code.

Re: Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
While automatically clustering java objects sure sounds cool, I have to wonder what the performance ends up being. Every small change to the clustered objects is broadcast to all the nodes, correct?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
Good question. May or may not be performant enough. Only time (and testing) will tell. My guess is that it will depend heavily on the rate in which the data changes (or read write ratio). Believe me, I'm not proposing that everyone go out and cluster lucene with terracotta dso. I'm really just playing, researching, learning. I'm a firm believer in using the right tool for the right job and would never claim that any product (especially one I wrote) is right for everyone. My guess is that some segment of the world cares a lot about realtime coherent updates and some segment of the world needs blinding speed. Part of my research is to gather the expertise of this group on these issues.

Interesting. I wonder, I have a notification mechanism at my disposal as well.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Clustering IndexWriter?
So I clustered this app: So I switched to clustering the RAMDirectory instead of the IndexWriter and it worked in my experiments. What I did was create a new IndexWriter on Document Adds and a new IndexSearcher on document queries. What I want to know is. How non-standard is this approach?
