[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-2575) Concurrent byte and int block implementations

["Jason Rutherglen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2575?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jason Rutherglen updated LUCENE-2575:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2575.patch

As per discussion, this patch removes byte block pool forwarding address rewrites by always allocating 4 bytes at the end of each slice.  newSlice has been replaced with newSliceByLevel because we were always calling this with the first level size.  TestByteSlices passes. 

With this working, we will not need to implement byte block copy-on-write.  Instead, a posting-upto per reader will be used.

> The current *BlockPool implementations aren't quite concurrent.
> We really need something that has a locking flush method, where
> flush is called at the end of adding a document. Once flushed,
> the newly written data would be available to all other reading
> threads (ie, postings etc). I'm not sure I understand the slices
> concept, it seems like it'd be easier to implement a seekable
> random access file like API. One'd seek to a given position,
> then read or write from there. The underlying management of byte
> arrays could then be hidden?
