Gilad Barkai updated LUCENE-5316:
---------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-5316.patch
Updated version, iterator now returned as {{null}} if ordinal has no children.
I think there are further improvements (a few {{if}}s and a loop check which
could be avoided) but at least currently the .next() call is avoided as per
Mike's suggestion. Hope this speed things up a bit.
> Taxonomy tree traversing improvement
> ------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-5316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5316
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/facet
> Reporter: Gilad Barkai
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: LUCENE-5316.patch, LUCENE-5316.patch

>
> The taxonomy traversing is done today utilizing the
> {{ParallelTaxonomyArrays}}. In particular, two taxonomy-size {{int}} arrays
> which hold for each ordinal it's (array #1) youngest child and (array #2)
> older sibling.
> This is a compact way of holding the tree information in memory, but it's not
> perfect:
> * Large (8 bytes per ordinal in memory)
> * Exposes internal implementation
> * Utilizing these arrays for tree traversing is not straight forward
> * Lose reference locality while traversing (the array is accessed in
> increasing only entries, but they may be distant from one another)
> * In NRT, a reopen is always (not worst case) done at O(Taxonomy-size)
> This issue is about making the traversing more easy, the code more readable,
> and open it for future improvements (i.e memory footprint and NRT cost) -
> without changing any of the internals.
> A later issue(s?) could be opened to address the gaps once this one is done.
