that's right, as suggested by Emmanuel I plan to separate the JGroups
Sync/Async options from the worker.execution property so you can play
with the two independently.
I think the JGroups option's default could depend on the backend - if
not otherwise specified, and if we all agree it doesn't make it too
confusing.
@All, the performance problem seemed to be caused by a problem in
JGroups, which I've logged here:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1617
For the record, the first operation was indeed triggering some lazy
initialization of indexes, which in turn would trigger a Lucene
Directory being started, triggering 3 Cache starts which in turn would
trigger 6 state transfer processes: so indeed the first operation
would not be exactly "cheap" performance wise, still this would
complete in about 120 milliseconds.
The same cost is paid again when the second node is hit the first
time, after that index write operations block the writer for <1ms (not
investigated further on potential throughput).
Not being sure about the options of depending to a newer JGroups
release or the complexity of a fix, I'll implement a workaround in
HSearch in the scope of HSEARCH-1296.
As a lesson learned, I think we need to polish some of our TRACE level
messaged to include the cache name: to resolve this we had not just
many threads and components but also 4 of them where using JGroups
(interleaving messages of all sorts) and 9 different caches where
involved for each simple write operation in CD: made it interesting to
figure what was going on! Also I'm wondering how hard it would be to
have a log parser which converts my 10GB of text log from today in a
graphical sequence diagram.
Big thanks to Mircea who helped me figuring this out.

I think we need more fine-grained config for this new JGroups sync
feature.
I added this to our cache config
<property
name="hibernate.search.default.worker.execution">async</property>
and it broke our tests.
Where previous (old / non JGroups sync) behavior worked.
It of course also works without this async config,
but in this case we don't need sync / ACK JGroups message.
(we didn't have one before and it worked ;-)
