Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1593:
------------------------------------
bq. Good point - can you update HitQueue's javadocs stating this new behavior?
I actually prefer to add a boolean prePopulate to HitQueue's ctor. Since it's
pacakge-private it should be ok and I noticed it is used in several classes
like MultiSearcher, ParallelMultiSearcher which rely on its size() value. They
just collect the results from the different searchers. I don't think they
should be optimized to pre-populate the queue, so instead of changing their
code to not rely on size(), I prefer them to init HQ with prePopulate=false.
If changing the ctor is not accepted, then perhaps add another ctor which
accepts that argument?
Regarding the rest, I need to read them carefully before I'll comment.

> Key: LUCENE-1593

> Project: Lucene - Java

> Attachments: LUCENE-1593.patch, PerfTest.java

>
> This is a spin-off of LUCENE-1575 and proposes to optimize TSDC and TFC code
> to remove unnecessary checks. The plan is:
> # Ensure that IndexSearcher returns segements in increasing doc Id order,
> instead of numDocs().
> # Change TSDC and TFC's code to not use the doc id as a tie breaker. New docs
> will always have larger ids and therefore cannot compete.
> # Pre-populate HitQueue with sentinel values in TSDC (score = Float.NEG_INF)
> and remove the check if reusableSD == null.
> # Also move to use "changing top" and then call adjustTop(), in case we
> update the queue.
> # some methods in Sort explicitly add SortField.FIELD_DOC as a "tie breaker"
> for the last SortField. But, doing so should not be necessary (since we
> already break ties by docID), and is in fact less efficient (once the above
> optimization is in).
> # Investigate PQ - can we deprecate insert() and have only
> insertWithOverflow()? Add a addDummyObjects method which will populate the
> queue without "arranging" it, just store the objects in the array (this can
> be used to pre-populate sentinel values)?
> I will post a patch as well as some perf measurements as soon as I have them.
