-----------------------------------
Summary: Use TimeLimitingBulkScorer; stop using
ExitableDirectoryReader
Key: SOLR-16693
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16693
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Affects Versions: 9.2
Reporter: David Smiley
Assignee: David Smiley
While reviewing Lucene 9.5 changes coming into Solr, I noticed some changes
relating to the ability to specify timeAllowed in Solr on a search query. Solr
uses both ExitableDirectoryReader and TimeLimitingCollector from Lucene for
this (complementary to each other). Unfortunately, changes in Lucene will make
the cost of ExitableDirectoryReader wrapping happen for all queries into Solr,
even those not using timeAllowed. Options to keep EDR aren't good -- fork it
basically. Anecdotally, I think I've heard the overhead is not trivial and my
intuition thinks likewise. Meanwhile, Lucene 9.3 added a new
TimeLimitingBulkScorer which even gets first class integration into
IndexSearcher which has a timeout. It's been incrementally improved, and I
really like its approach, probable performance, and simplicity. It should be
straightforward to integrate this into SolrIndexSearcher and also only do so
for queries specifying timeAllowed. I'm not sure TimeLimitingCollector offers
much value to using TLBS other than additional precision on timeAllowed at some
cost to unselective queries.
I think doing this should block Solr 9.2 using Lucene 9.5. Alternatively,
someone might benchmark the state of things and see that things aren't so bad
as they may seem. But that takes work too.
