Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-5441: ---------------------------------- Attachment: LUCENE-5441.patch New patch, that makes everything compile and pass tests. > Decouple DocIdSet from OpenBitSet and FixedBitSet > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-5441 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5441 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Task > Components: core/other > Affects Versions: 4.6.1 > Reporter: Uwe Schindler > Fix For: 5.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-5441.patch, LUCENE-5441.patch > > > Back from the times of Lucene 2.4 when DocIdSet was introduced, we somehow > kept the stupid "filters can return a BitSet directly" in the code. So lots > of Filters return just FixedBitSet, because this is the superclass (ideally > interface) of FixedBitSet. > We should decouple that and *not* implement that abstract interface directly > by FixedBitSet. This leads to bugs e.g. in BlockJoin, because it used Filters > in a wrong way, just because it was always returning Bitsets. But some > filters actually don't do this. > I propose to let FixedBitSet (only in trunk, because that a major backwards > break) just have a method {{asDocIdSet()}}, that returns an anonymous > instance of DocIdSet: bits() returns the FixedBitSet itsself, iterator() > returns a new Iterator (like it always did) and the cost/cacheable methods > return static values. > Filters in trunk would need to be changed like that: > {code:java} > FixedBitSet bits = .... > ... > return bits; > {code} > gets: > {code:java} > FixedBitSet bits = .... > ... > return bits.asDocIdSet(); > {code} > As this methods returns an anonymous DocIdSet, calling code can no longer > rely or check if the implementation behind is a FixedBitSet. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
