Wrap messages output with a check of InfoStream != null -------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1480 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1480 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Improvement Components: Index Reporter: Shai Erera Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.4.1 I've found several places in the code where messages are output w/o first checking if infoStream != null. The result is that in most of the time, unnecessary strings are created but never output (because infoStream is not set). We should follow Java's logging best practices, where a log message is always output in the following format: if (logger.isLoggable(leve)) { logger.log(level, msg); } Log messages are usually created w/o paying too much attention to performance (such as string concatenation using '+' instead of StringBuffer). Therefore, at runtime it is important to avoid creating those messages, if they will be discarded eventually. I will add a method to IndexWriter messagesEnabled() and then use it wherever a call to iw.message() is made. Patch will follow -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
