########## File path: lucene/test-framework/src/java/org/apache/lucene/util/TestUtil.java ########## @@ -321,6 +326,11 @@ public static void syncConcurrentMerges(MergeScheduler ms) { checker.setDoSlowChecks(doSlowChecks); checker.setFailFast(failFast); checker.setInfoStream(new PrintStream(output, false, IOUtils.UTF_8), false); + if (concurrent) { + checker.setThreadCount(RandomizedTest.randomIntBetween(1, 5)); + } else { + checker.setThreadCount(0); Review comment: Currently in the code, it is using `0` to signal turning off concurrent checking (using the main thread to check index), and it is also used as default when users don't explicitly pass in `-threadCount` flag. In `CheckIndex#doCheck(Options)`, here's the logic to overwrite default thread count with user provided value (`0` when not specified) ``` // when threadCount was not provided via command line, override it with 0 to turn of concurrent // check setThreadCount(opts.threadCount); ``` and later in `CheckIndex#checkIndex(List)`, it is used as such ``` public Status checkIndex(List<String> onlySegments) throws IOException { ExecutorService executorService = null; if (threadCount > 0) { executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(threadCount, new NamedThreadFactory("async-check-index")); } try { return checkIndex(onlySegments, executorService); } finally { ... } } ``` --- If we were to use `1` to signal checking sequentially / turning off concurrency, then I would imagine users will need to use `-threadCount 2` when they meant "create 1 more thread in addition to main thread to check index", and in general N+1 when they were thinking about creating N additional threads right? I feel this might be a bit unintuitive? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
