[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-3203) Rate-limit IO used by merging

["Michael McCandless (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-3203:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-3203.patch

Patch, with a hacked up a prototype impl, but I don't think we should
commit it like this.  Instead, I think we should wait for IOContext,
and then Dir impls can allow app to specify max merge write rate.

> Large merges can mess up searches and increase NRT reopen time (see
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/06/lucenes-near-real-time-search-is-fast.html).
> A simple rate limiter improves the spikey NRT reopen times during big
> merges, so I think we should somehow make this possible.  Likely this
> would reduce impact on searches as well.
> Typically apps that do indexing and searching on same box are in no
> rush to see the merges complete so this is a good tradeoff.
