Eric commented on LUCENE-1195:
------------------------------
When faceting(iterating all terms), will each term be looked up twice in
dictionary?
> Performance improvement for TermInfosReader
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-1195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1195
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Michael Busch
> Assignee: Michael Busch
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> Currently we have a bottleneck for multi-term queries: the dictionary lookup
> is being done
> twice for each term. The first time in Similarity.idf(), where
> searcher.docFreq() is called.
> The second time when the posting list is opened (TermDocs or TermPositions).
> The dictionary lookup is not cheap, that's why a significant performance
> improvement is
> possible here if we avoid the second lookup. An easy way to do this is to add
> a small LRU
> cache to TermInfosReader.
> I ran some performance experiments with an LRU cache size of 20, and an
> mid-size index of
> 500,000 documents from wikipedia. Here are some test results:
> 50,000 AND queries with 3 terms each:
> old: 152 secs
> new (with LRU cache): 112 secs (26% faster)
> 50,000 OR queries with 3 terms each:
> old: 175 secs
> new (with LRU cache): 133 secs (24% faster)
> For bigger indexes this patch will probably have less impact, for smaller
> once more.
> I will attach a patch soon.
