Otis Gospodnetic commented on LUCENE-584: ----------------------------------------- Doron: just to address your question from Apr/7 - I expect/hope to see an improvement in performance because of this difference: hc.collect(doc(), score()); mc.collect(doc()); the delta being the cost of the score() call that does the scoring. If I understand things correctly, that means that what grant described at the bottom of http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/scoring.html will all be skipped. No Scorer, no BooleanScorer(2), no ConjunctionScorer... > Decouple Filter from BitSet > --------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-584 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-584 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Peter Schäfer > Priority: Minor > Attachments: bench-diff.txt, bench-diff.txt, BitsMatcher.java, > Filter-20060628.patch, HitCollector-20060628.patch, > IndexSearcher-20060628.patch, MatchCollector.java, Matcher.java, > Matcher20070226.patch, Scorer-20060628.patch, Searchable-20060628.patch, > Searcher-20060628.patch, Some Matchers.zip, SortedVIntList.java, > TestSortedVIntList.java > > > {code} > package org.apache.lucene.search; > public abstract class Filter implements java.io.Serializable > { > public abstract AbstractBitSet bits(IndexReader reader) throws IOException; > } > public interface AbstractBitSet > { > public boolean get(int index); > } > {code} > It would be useful if the method =Filter.bits()= returned an abstract > interface, instead of =java.util.BitSet=. > Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's > privileges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible. > Sparsely populated =java.util.BitSet=s are not efficient and waste lots of > memory.
