Gilad Barkai updated LUCENE-5316:
---------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-5316.patch
Introducing a map-based children iterator, which holds for every ordinal (real
parent) an {{int[]}} containing its direct children.
Each such {{int[]}} has an extra last slot for
{{TaxonomyReader.INVALID_ORDINAL}} which spares an {{if}} call for every
{{ChildrenIterator.next()}} call.
This is a quick and dirty patch, just so we could verify the penalty for moving
to the API/map is not great. If it is great, the whole issue should be
reconsidered, and perhaps a move to direct {{int[]}} for iterating over
children should be implemented.
> 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

>
> 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.
