Ning Li commented on LUCENE-1035:
---------------------------------

> Were the tests run using the same set of queries they were warmed for?

Yes, the same set of queries were used. The warm-up and the real run are two 
separate runs, which means the file system cache is warmed, but not the buffer 
pool.

Yes, it'd much better if a real query log could be obtained. I'll take a look 
at the AOL query log. I used to have an intranet query log which has a lot of 
term locality. That's why I think this could provide a good improvement.

> There are better ways to optimize for that, e.g., by caching hit lists, no?

That's useful and that's for exact query match. If there are a lot of shared 
query term but not exact query match, caching hit list won't help. This is sort 
of caching posting list but simpler.

> Index in RAMDirectory provides better performance over that in FSDirectory.
> But many indexes cannot fit in memory or applications cannot afford to
> spend that much memory on index. On the other hand, because of locality,
> a reasonably sized buffer pool may provide good improvement over FSDirectory.
> This issue aims at providing such an optional buffer pool layer. In cases
> where it fits, i.e. a reasonable hit ratio can be achieved, it should provide
> a good improvement over FSDirectory.
