             Summary: Lucene-memory property index
                 Key: OAK-4412
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4412
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: lucene
            Reporter: Tomek Rękawek
             Fix For: 1.6


When running Oak in a cluster, each write operation is expensive. After performing some stress-tests with a geo-distributed Mongo cluster, we've found out that updating property indexes is a large part of the overall traffic.

The asynchronous index would be an answer here (as the index update won't be made in the client request thread), but the AEM requires the updates to be visible immediately in order to work properly.

The idea here is to enhance the existing asynchronous Lucene index with a synchronous, locally-stored counterpart that will persist only the data since the last Lucene background reindexing job.

The new index can be stored in memory or (if necessary) in MMAPed local files. Once the "main" Lucene index is being updated, the local index will be purged.

Queries will use an union of results from the {{lucene}} and {{lucene-memory}} indexes.

The {{lucene-memory}} index, as a local stored entity, will be updated using an observer, so it'll get both local and remote changes.

The original idea has been suggested by [~chetanm] in the discussion for the OAK-4233.
