This documentation was dangerous because it felt like it was possible to gain
substantial performance by just switching the codec of the index.
However, non-default codecs are dangerous to use since they are not supported
in terms of backward compatibility, and most improvements that they bring have
been folded into the default codec anyway (for example, the default codec
"pulses" postings lists that contain a single document).
Adds a breaker for request BigArrays, which are used for parent/child
queries as well as some aggregations. Certain operations like Netty HTTP
responses and transport responses increment the breaker, but will not
trip.
This also changes the output of the nodes' stats endpoint to show the
parent breaker as well as the fielddata and request breakers.
There are a number of new settings for breakers now:
`indices.breaker.total.limit`: starting limit for all memory-use breaker,
defaults to 70%
`indices.breaker.fielddata.limit`: starting limit for fielddata breaker,
defaults to 60%
`indices.breaker.fielddata.overhead`: overhead for fielddata breaker
estimations, defaults to 1.03
(the fielddata breaker settings also use the backwards-compatible
setting `indices.fielddata.breaker.limit` and
`indices.fielddata.breaker.overhead`)
`indices.breaker.request.limit`: starting limit for request breaker,
defaults to 40%
`indices.breaker.request.overhead`: request breaker estimation overhead,
defaults to 1.0
The breaker service infrastructure is now generic and opens the path to
adding additional circuit breakers in the future.

This change just changes the default for index.codec.bloom.load to
false: with recent performance improvements to ID lookup, such as
#6298, bloom filters don't give much of a performance gain anymore,
and they can consume non-trivial RAM when there are many tiny
documents.
For now, we still index the bloom filters, so if a given app wants
them back, it can just update the index.codec.bloom.load to true.
Closes#6959
`mmapfs` is really good for random access but can have sideeffects if
memory maps are large depending on the operating system etc. A hybrid
solution where only selected files are actually memory mapped but others
mostly consumed sequentially brings the best of both worlds and
minimizes the memory map impact.
This commit mmaps only the `dvd` and `tim` file for fast random access
on docvalues and term dictionaries.
Closes#6636
This commit upgrades to the latest Lucene 4.8.1 release including the
following bugfixes:
* An IndexThrottle now kicks in when merges start falling behind
limiting index threads to 1 until merges caught up. Closes#6066
* RateLimiter now kicks in at the configured rate where previously
the limiter was limiting at ~8MB/sec almost all the time. Closes#6018
It's dangerous to expose SerialMergeScheduler as an option: since it only allows one merge at a time, it can easily cause merging to fall behind.
Closes#6120
The current setting of 20MB/sec seems to be too conservative given
the capabilities of modern hardware. Even on cloud infrastructure this
seems to be too lowish. A 50MB default should provide better out of the box
performance
Currently we use 5k operations as a flush threshold. Indexing 5k documents
per second is rather common which would cause the index to be committed on
the lucene level each time the flush logic runs which is 5 seconds by default.
We should rather use a size based threshold similar to the lucene index writer
that doesn't cause such agressive commits which can slow down indexing significantly
especially since they cause the underlying devices to fsync their data.
Load tests showed that SerialMS has problems to keep up with
the merges under high load. We should switch back to CMS
until we have a better story to balance merge
threads / efforts across shards on a single node.
Closes#5817
Today, we use ConcurrentMergeScheduler, and this can be painful since it is concurrent on a shard level, with a max of 3 threads doing concurrent merges. If there are several shards being indexed, then there will be a minor explosion of threads trying to do merges, all being throttled by our merge throttling.
Moving to serial merge scheduler will still maintain concurrency of merges across shards, as we have the merge thread pool that schedules those merges. It will just be a serial one on a specific shard.
Also, on serial merge scheduler, we now have a limit of how many merges it will do at one go, so it will let other shards get their fair chance of merging. We use the pending merges on IW to check if merges are needed or not for it.
Note, that if a merge is happening, it will not block due to a sync on the maybeMerge call at indexing (flush) time, since we wrap our merge scheduler with the EnabledMergeScheduler, where maybeMerge is not activated during indexing, only with explicit calls to IW#maybeMerge (see Merges).
