[jira] Closed: (LUCENE-600) ParallelWriter companion to ParallelReader

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-600?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Busch closed LUCENE-600.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This solution has the severe drawback that it only works if the IndexWriter is used in flush-by-docCount mode. Lucene's default behavior is flush-by-size now.

See LUCENE-1879 for a more generic approach.

>          Components: Index
>    Affects Versions: 2.1

>
> A new class ParallelWriter is provided that serves as a companion to ParallelReader.  ParallelWriter meets all of the doc-id synchronization requirements of ParallelReader, subject to:
>     1.  ParallelWriter.addDocument() is synchronized, which might have an adverse effect on performance.  The writes to the sub-indexes are, however, done in parallel.
>     2.  The application must ensure that the ParallelReader is never reopened inside ParallelWriter.addDocument(), else it might find the sub-indexes out of sync.
>     3.  The application must deal with recovery from ParallelWriter.addDocument() exceptions.  Recovery must restore the synchronization of doc-ids, e.g. by deleting any trailing document(s) in one sub-index that were not successfully added to all sub-indexes, and then optimizing all sub-indexes.
> A new interface, Writable, is provided to abstract IndexWriter and ParallelWriter.  This is in the same spirit as the existing Searchable and Fieldable classes.
> This implementation uses java 1.5.  The patch applies against today's svn head.  All tests pass, including the new TestParallelWriter.
