Sam Hough commented on LUCENE-457: ---------------------------------- Doh. Guess could do merge sort but does make it much less attractive. Presumably making sorting algorithm better than O(N) for memory would mean changes to storage format so be 2.0 thing :( Thanks Yonik. Guess this should be closed. I for one can't think of a way of making it work. > FieldCacheImpl take advantage of term info already being sorted > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-457 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-457 > Project: Lucene - Java > Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Sam Hough > Priority: Minor > > FieldCacheImpl.getStrings could take advantage of term info already being > sorted > lexically.
