Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1591:
------------------------------------

bq. I downloaded the bz2 2008036

I'm almost sure its a typo, but just to verify - did download the 20090306 
(enwiki-20090306-pages-articles.xml.bz2), or 2008036?

Anyway, I think I've found a problem. In the javadocs, they document that the 
IS version uses the readByte() exclusively, but don't say anything regarding 
their OS version. I read the code and noticed it always calls write() and never 
uses the array version.
So I wrapped the FOS with a BOS (bufSize=64k) and then with BZOS. I did a short 
test, reading 2000 records from the 20070527 file, before and after the change:

|| Num Docs || Before || After || %tg
| 2000 | 106s | 30s | {color:green}72{color}

I think that if that improvement is stable, than the 9 hours run should drop to 
~3 hours, which seems right. I didn't measure the time to unzip the file using 
WinRAR (the first time I tried it), but it was a couple of hours run.

Once the current run will complete, I'll kick off a new one with that code 
change and note the time difference. I'm eager to see it speeds up, but I want 
to complete a successful run before :)

> bzip compression can aid the benchmark package by not requiring extracting 
> bzip files (such as enwiki) in order to index them. The plan is to add a 
> config parameter bzip.compression=true/false and in the relevant tasks either 
> decompress the input file or compress the output file using the bzip streams.
> It will add a dependency on ant.jar which contains two classes similar to 
> GZIPOutputStream and GZIPInputStream which compress/decompress files using 
> the bzip algorithm.
> bzip is known to be superior in its compression performance to the gzip 
> algorithm (~20% better compression), although it does the 
> compression/decompression a bit slower.
> I wil post a patch which adds this parameter and implement it in 
> LineDocMaker, EnwikiDocMaker and WriteLineDoc task. Maybe even add the 
> capability to DocMaker or some of the super classes, so it can be inherited 
> by all sub-classes.
