Improvements to contrib.benchmark for TREC collections
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1540
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1540
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/benchmark
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Tim Armstrong
            Priority: Minor


The benchmarking utilities for  TREC test collections (http://trec.nist.gov) 
are quite limited and do not support some of the variations in format of older 
TREC collections.  

I have been doing some benchmarking work with Lucene and have had to modify the 
package to support:
* Older TREC document formats, which the current parser fails on due to missing 
document headers.
* Variations in query format - newlines after <title> tag causing the query 
parser to get confused.
* Ability to detect and read in uncompressed text collections
* Storage of document numbers by default without storing full text.

I can submit a patch if there is interest, although I will probably want to 
write unit tests for the new functionality first.
