AMIRAULT Martin closed LUCENE-7482.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Sorry, just realized that actually my implementation assumed that all documents
match, which most of the time is not the case.
> Faster sorted index search for reverse order search
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-7482
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7482
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: AMIRAULT Martin
> Priority: Minor
>
> We are currently using Lucene here in my company for our main product.
> Our search functionnality is quite basic and the results are always sorted
> given a predefined field. The user is only able to choose the sort order
> (Asc/Desc).
> I am currently investigating using the index sort feature with
> EarlyTerminationSortingCollector.
> This is quite a shame searching on a sorted index in reverse order do not
> have any optimization and was wondering if it would be possible to make it
> faster by creating a special "ReverseSortingCollector" for this purpose.
> I am aware the posting list is designed to be always iterated in the same
> order, so it is not about early-terminating the search but more about
> filtering-out unneeded documents more efficiently.
> If a segment is sorted in reverse order, we can work out easily the docId
> from which documents should be collected.
> Here is a sample quick code:
> {code:title=ReverseSortingCollector.java|borderStyle=solid}
> public class ReverseSortingCollector extends FilterCollector {
> /** Sort used to sort the search results */
> protected final Sort sort;
> /** Number of documents to collect in each segment */
> protected final int numDocsToCollect;
>
> [...]
> @Override
> public LeafCollector getLeafCollector(LeafReaderContext context) throws
> IOException {
> LeafReader reader = context.reader();
> Sort segmentSort = reader.getIndexSort();
> if (isReverseOrder(sort, segmentSort)) {//segment is sorted in
> reverse order than the search sort
>
> //Here we can easily work out the docNum from which we
> should collect
> long collectFrom = context.reader().numDocs() -
> numDocsToCollect;
>
> return new FilterLeafCollector(in.getLeafCollector(context)) {
> @Override
> public void collect(int doc) throws IOException {
> if (doc >= collectFrom) {//only delegates
> super.collect(doc);
> }
> }
> };
> }else{
> return in.getLeafCollector(context);
> }
> }
>
> }
> {code}
> This is specially efficient when used along with TopFieldCollector as a lot
> of docValue lookup would not take place.
> In my experiment it reduced search time by 90%.
> However I was wondering if it is correct, as my knowledge of Lucene is still
> quite limited.
> Especially is it correct to assume that LeafReader docId always span from
> 0=>LeafReader.numDocs() ?
> Note : Does not support paging. Could be eventually implemented by providing
> a way to look up the docId to match from the last document collected (eg for
> LongPoint querying the docId closest to the previously returned value...)
