Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2843:
-------------------------------------
bq. Unfortunately, Java has additional overhead wrt mmap
Its not just that, you cant assume mmap even "works" (32-bit platform, even
some troubles on 64-bit windows).
Because this is a search engine library, not just a server on 64-bit linux
only, then we need to support
other situations like 32-bit users doing desktop search.
In other words, Test2BTerms in src/test should pass on my 32-bit windows
machine with whatever we default to.
> Add variable-gap terms index impl.

> PrefixCodedTermsReader/Writer (used by all "real" core codecs) already
> supports pluggable terms index impls.
> The only impl we have now is FixedGapTermsIndexReader/Writer, which
> picks every Nth (default 32) term and holds it in efficient packed
> int/byte arrays in RAM. This is already an enormous improvement (RAM
> reduction, init time) over 3.x.
> This patch adds another impl, VariableGapTermsIndexReader/Writer,
> which lets you specify an arbitrary IndexTermSelector to pick which
> terms are indexed, and then uses an FST to hold the indexed terms.
> This is typically even more memory efficient than packed int/byte
> arrays, though, it does not support ord() so it's not quite a fair
> comparison.
> I had to relax the terms index plugin api for
> PrefixCodedTermsReader/Writer to not assume that the terms index impl
> supports ord.
> I also did some cleanup of the FST/FSTEnum APIs and impls, and broke
> out separate seekCeil and seekFloor in FSTEnum. Eg we need seekFloor
> when the FST is used as a terms index but seekCeil when it's holding
> all terms in the index (ie which SimpleText uses FSTs for).
