[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2061) Create benchmark & approach for testing Lucene's near real-time performance

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2061?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12778346#action_12778346 ] 

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2061:
--------------------------------------------

OK the last test had a silly bug, that made update QPS slowdown even @ low indexing & reopen rates look worse than it should be...

The test ran on a fully optimized index, ie, it had no deletions.

So the pure searching & add tests had no deletedDocs vector to check, but the update test, after the very first doc was indexed, had to check the deleteDocs.  So, really, that 20% slowdown we see right off the bat for the updates case is the added cost of having to check the BitVector.

So the test was unfair.  I'll re-run after deleting one doc from the base index...

> With the improvements to contrib/benchmark in LUCENE-2050, it's now
> possible to create compelling algs to test indexing & searching
> throughput against a periodically reopened near-real-time reader from
> the IndexWriter.
> Coming out of the discussions in LUCENE-1526, I think to properly
> characterize NRT, we should measure net search throughput as a
> function of both reopen rate (ie how often you get a new NRT reader
> from the writer) and indexing rate.  We should also separately measure
> pure adds vs updates (deletes + adds); the latter is much more work
> for Lucene.
> This can help apps make capacity decisions... and can help us test
> performance of pending improvements for NRT (eg LUCENE-1313,
> LUCENE-2047).
