Grzegorz Kossakowski commented on COCOON-2065: ---------------------------------------------- Thanks Dominique for posting a patch. As you already offered a help with updating documentation, would you like to move the page from wiki to our official documentation repository that is located at http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/? It's preferable to have that info in official docs. Documents from Daisy will be published at official, reworked site soon. > huge performance increase of LuceneIndexTransformer on large Lucene indexes > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-2065 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2065 > Project: Cocoon > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Blocks: Lucene > Affects Versions: 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.1.9, 2.1.10, 2.1.11-dev (Current > SVN), 2.2-dev (Current SVN) > Reporter: Dominique De Munck > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1.11-dev (Current SVN), 2.2-dev (Current SVN) > > Attachments: LuceneIndexTransformer.patch > > > PROBLEM: > The LuceneIndexTransformer optimizes the Lucene index every time you add an > entry to the index. > This slows down enormously the indexing with a large index ! If upon every > checkin of a document eg, > you use it to update the entry, it will slow down. > Eg. I have a Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz, Lucene index contains 10 000 doc. > Where the index update only takes say 60ms, the optimize that get's called, > can take 7 seconds! > SOLUTION: > I've created a patch that introduces an option "optimize-frequency" to > determine the frequency of the optimize call. > It defaults to 1 (current behaviour), when a user sets it to 50, only once > every 50 updates the index will be optimized etc.... > If no optimization is wanted, you can set it to 0. > This is compliant to the Lucene documentation (fragment of Lucene FAQ): > "The IndexWriter class supports an optimize() method that compacts the index > database and speedup queries. You may want to use this method after > performing a complete indexing of your document set or after incremental > updates of the index. If your incremental update adds documents frequently, > you want to perform the optimization only once in a while to avoid the extra > overhead of the optimization." > PATCH INFO: > added configuration option + a function "needToOptimize()" which is called > before optimizing. > needToOptimize() uses a random function generator, to keep code simple. > - when the option is not set, CODE WILL BE EXECUTED AS BEFORE > - tested one 2.1.11 SVN branch, but no differences in the "main" trunk thus > can be applied there also. > - Updated API docs > - if patch accepted, I will also update the Wiki: > http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LuceneIndexTransformer -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
