[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-3653) Lucene Search not scalling
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3653?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Gerrit Jansen van Vuuren updated LUCENE-3653:

profile_1_b.png
profile_1_a.png
profile_1_[x].png images shows lucene 3.4 used in the sample application App.java profiled using YourKit.
1_a : shows the threads Blocking.
1_b : shows where the threads block. I went through all of the methods and almost all were blocking on SegmentCoreReaders
1_c : Shows the monitors on which the threads are blocking.

> I've noticed that when doing thousands of searches in a single thread the average time is quite low i.e. a few milliseconds. When adding more concurrent searches doing exactly the same search the average time increases drastically.
> I've profiled the search classes and found that the whole of lucene blocks on
> org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentCoreReaders.getTermsReader
> org.apache.lucene.util.VirtualMethod
> public synchronized int getImplementationDistance
> org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeSourcew.getAttributeInterfaces
> These cause search times to increase from a few milliseconds to up to 2 seconds when doing 500 concurrent searches on the same in memory index. Note: That the index is not being updates at all, so not refresh methods are called at any stage.
> Some questions:
> Why do we need synchronization here?
> There must be a non-lockable solution for these, they basically cause lucene to be ok for single thread applications but disastrous for any concurrent implementation.
> I'll do some experiments by removing the synchronization from the methods of these classes.
