Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1592: ------------------------------------- I made a quick update to the javadoc so its a bit less misleading, but still needs to be resolved in a stronger manner, al la this issue. > fix or deprecate TermsEnum.skipTo > --------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1592 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1592 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > > This method is a trap: it looks legitimate but it has hideously poor > performance (simple linear scan implemented in the TermsEnum base class since > none of the concrete impls override it with a more efficient implementation). > The least we should do for 2.9 is deprecate the method with a strong warning > about its performance. > See here for background: > http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/77dc4f8e893d3cf3/possible_terminfosreader_speedup > And, here for historical context: > http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/88f1b95b404ebf16/remove_termenum_skipto_term_target -- 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: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
