-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Sequential IndexWriter performance in concurrent environments.
                 Key: LUCENENET-640
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-640
             Project: Lucene.Net
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Lucene.Net Core
    Affects Versions: Lucene.Net 4.8.0
            Reporter: Mathias Henriksen
             Fix For: Lucene.Net 4.8.0
         Attachments: AssertFinalBug.jpg, IdentityWeakReferenceBug.jpg, Program.cs, overviewBug.jpg

When creating Lucene.Net indices in parallel, sequential-like performance is experienced. Profiling 8 concurrent IndexWriter instances writing in parallel shows that WeakIdentityMap::IdentityWeakReference::Equals spends most time garbage collecting (94.91%) and TokenStream::AssertFinal (87.09% garbage collecting) in my preliminary tests (see screenshots).

The [WeakIdentityMap|https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/blob/master/src/Lucene.Net/Util/WeakIdentityMap.cs] implementation uses an IdentityWeakReference as key, which is implemented as a class. By inspection of this class, it is merely a System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle wrapper as can be seen in the mono project, manually wrapping of this struct in a struct rather than a class - will eliminate some of the immense amounts of garbage collection.
