David Smiley commented on LUCENE-4574:
--------------------------------------
Rob, FunctionQuery$AllScorer.score() is pretty simple and innocent enough so
perhaps that is not the right place to add the cache either. Some ValueSources
might have a trivial value e.g. a constant, some might be expensive.
[~yo...@apache.org], your first comment was:
bq. FunctionValues isn't the right place to solve this... that would cause
caching/checking at every level of a function.
Do you mean it's wrong for a custom ValueSource I wrote to have its
FunctionValues, which I know to be expensive because I wrote it, cache its
previous value? That's hard to believe so perhaps you don't mean that.
Here's a proposal. Add a ValueSource method boolean nonTrivial(), defaulting
to true to be safe but overriding in many subclasses to use false as
appropriate. Then, FunctionQuery$AllScorer's constructor (called only
per-segment) can check and wrap in a to-be-developed FunctionValues caching
wrapper for floatVal(). Unlike my previous proposal in the collector, this
proposal targets cases that self-declare themselves to have non-trivial
implementations and so are worth caching.

> I was working on a custom ValueSource and did some basic profiling and
> debugging to see if it was being used optimally. To my surprise, the value
> was being fetched twice per document in a row. This computation isn't
> exactly cheap to calculate so this is a big problem. I was able to
> work-around this problem trivially on my end by caching the last value with
> corresponding docid in my FunctionValues implementation.

> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:280)
> {noformat}
> The 2nd call appears to use some score caching mechanism, which is all well
> and good, but that same mechanism wasn't used in the first call so there's no
> cached value to retrieve.
