[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-9535) Investigate recent indexing
slowdown for wikimedium documents

--------------------------------------------
It is really annoying how noisy the nightly indexing throughput is!

> Nightly benchmarks report a ~10% slowdown for 1kB documents as of September 9th: [http://people.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/indexing.html].
> On that day, we added stored fields in DWPT accounting (LUCENE-9511), so I first thought this could be due to smaller flushed segments and more merging, but I still wonder whether there's something else. The benchmark runs with 8GB of heap, 2GB of RAM buffer and 36 indexing threads. So it's about 2GB/36 = 57MB of RAM buffer per thread in the worst-case scenario that all DWPTs get full at the same time. Stored fields account for about 0.7MB of memory, or 1% of the indexing buffer size. How can a 1% reduction of buffering capacity explain a 10% indexing slowdown? I looked into this further by running indexing benchmarks locally with 8 indexing threads and 128MB of indexing buffer memory, which would make this issue even more apparent if the smaller RAM buffer was the cause, but I'm not seeing a regression and actually I'm seeing similar number of flushes when I disabled memory accounting for stored fields.
> I ran indexing under a profiler to see whether something else could cause this slowdown, e.g. slow implementations of ramBytesUsed on stored fields writers, but nothing surprising showed up and the profile looked just like I would have expected.
> Another question I have is why the 4kB benchmark is not affected at all.
