Mark Harwood commented on LUCENE-4069:
--------------------------------------
bq. At a minimum I think before committing we should make the SegmentWriteState
accessible.
OK. Will that be the subject of a new Jira?
bq. Hmm why is anonymity at search time important?
It would seem to be an established design principle - see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4069#comment-13285726
It would be a pain if user config settings require a custom SPI-registered
class around just to decode the index contents. There's the resource/classpath
hell, the chance for misconfiguration and running Luke suddenly gets more
complex.
The line to be drawn is between what are just config settings (field names,
memory limits) and what are fundamentally different file formats (e.g. codec
choices).
The design principle that looks to be adopted is that the former ought to be
accommodated without the need for custom SPI-registered classes and the latter
would need to locate an implementation via SPI to decode stored content. Seems
reasonable.
The choice of hash algo does not fundamentally alter the on-disk format (they
all produce an int) so I would suggest we treat this as a config setting rather
than a fundamentally different choice of file format.

> Key: LUCENE-4069
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4069
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 3.6, 4.0-ALPHA
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
> Attachments: BloomFilterPostingsBranch4x.patch,
> LUCENE-4069-tryDeleteDocument.patch, LUCENE-4203.patch,
> MHBloomFilterOn3.6Branch.patch, PKLookupUpdatePerfTest.java,
> PKLookupUpdatePerfTest.java, PKLookupUpdatePerfTest.java,
> PKLookupUpdatePerfTest.java, PrimaryKeyPerfTest40.java
>
>
> An addition to each segment which stores a Bloom filter for selected fields
> in order to give fast-fail to term searches, helping avoid wasted disk access.
> Best suited for low-frequency fields e.g. primary keys on big indexes with
> many segments but also speeds up general searching in my tests.
> Overview slideshow here:
> http://www.slideshare.net/MarkHarwood/lucene-bloomfilteredsegments
> Benchmarks based on Wikipedia content here: http://goo.gl/X7QqU
> Patch based on 3.6 codebase attached.
> There are no 3.6 API changes currently - to play just add a field with "_blm"
> on the end of the name to invoke special indexing/querying capability.
> Clearly a new Field or schema declaration(!) would need adding to APIs to
> configure the service properly.
> Also, a patch for Lucene4.0 codebase introducing a new PostingsFormat
