Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3659: ------------------------------------- Live docs aren't a metadata. I think you are conflating 'tiny' with 'metadata'. I'm saying we should declare its metadata, thats all. This is pretty black and white! IF a directory wants to, as a heuristic, interpret metadata == tiny, then thats fine, but thats separate. > Improve Javadocs of RAMDirectory to document its limitations and add > improvements to make it more GC friendly on large indexes > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-3659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3659 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: 3.5, 4.0 > Reporter: Uwe Schindler > Assignee: Uwe Schindler > Fix For: 3.6, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-3659.patch, LUCENE-3659.patch, LUCENE-3659.patch > > > Spinoff from several dev@lao issues: > - > [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/201112.mbox/%3C001001ccbf1c%2471845830%24548d0890%24%40thetaphi.de%3E] > - issue LUCENE-3653 > The use cases for RAMDirectory are very limited and to prevent users from > using it for e.g. loading a 50 Gigabyte index from a file on disk, we should > improve the javadocs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
