Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3234:
-------------------------------------
Oh I see, I think i'm nervous about testRepeatedTerms too.
Maybe we can comment it out and just mention its more of a benchmark?
The problem could be that the test is timing-based... in general a machine
could suddenly get busy at any time,
especially since we run many tests in parallel, so I'm worried it could
intermittently fail.

> Key: LUCENE-3234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3234
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.9.4, 3.0.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
> Reporter: Mike Sokolov
> Assignee: Koji Sekiguchi
> Fix For: 3.4, 4.0

>
> With larger documents, FVH can spend a lot of time trying to find the
> best-scoring snippet as it examines every possible phrase formed from
> matching terms in the document. If one is willing to accept
> less-than-perfect scoring by limiting the number of phrases that are
> examined, substantial speedups are possible. This is analogous to the
> Highlighter limit on the number of characters to analyze.
> The patch includes an artifical test case that shows > 1000x speedup. In a
> more normal test environment, with English documents and random queries, I am
> seeing speedups of around 3-10x when setting phraseLimit=1, which has the
> effect of selecting the first possible snippet in the document. Most of our
> sites operate in this way (just show the first snippet), so this would be a
> big win for us.
> With phraseLimit = -1, you get the existing FVH behavior. At larger values of
> phraseLimit, you may not get substantial speedup in the normal case, but you
> do get the benefit of protection against blow-up in pathological cases.
