Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-2380: -------------------------------------- bq. would love to return empty string (not null) if ord 0 comes in, and require caller to specifically handle ord 0 if they need to differentiate... I had started down that path but got spooked by it Yeah... I guess I could see how it could cause a loss of info if you go though a few layers and you only have a BytesRef w/o an ord to tell you the value was missing. > Add FieldCache.getTermBytes, to load term data as byte[] > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2380 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2380 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2380.patch > > > With flex, a term is now an opaque byte[] (typically, utf8 encoded unicode > string, but not necessarily), so we need to push this up the search stack. > FieldCache now has getStrings and getStringIndex; we need corresponding > methods to load terms as native byte[], since in general they may not be > representable as String. This should be quite a bit more RAM efficient too, > for US ascii content since each character would then use 1 byte not 2. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
