Description:

This wait is when a thread that is participating in a full-text operation is waiting for synchronization with other full-text worker threads.

Added in SQL Server version:

2008

Removed in SQL Server version:

N/A

Extended Events wait_type value:

The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 585 in 2008 and 2008 R2, 635 in 2012, and 651 in 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.

Other information:

This wait type is one that I usually filter out as a benign wait when doing wait statistics analysis.

I have not seen this wait type be a noticeable contention point.

Known occurrences in SQL Server (list number matches call stack list):

1. Waiting for synchronization (in this case, while participating in a crawl and sending a batch of full-text information to the central collection point)
2. Waiting for synchronization (in this case, while waiting for an asynchronous read to complete)
3. Waiting for synchronization (in this case, while waiting for an asynchronous write to complete)
