Michael Busch commented on LUCENE-1693:
---------------------------------------
Sorry, I don't want to be the bad guy here, just trying to mention things that
come to my mind. Maybe this one is negligible?
If the user had extensions of streams/filters that in 2.4 didn't declare next()
or next(Token) as final and calls super.next() or super.next(Token), then I
think you'll get different behavior or exceptions. E.g.:
{code:java}
private static class ExtendedSinkTokenizer extends SinkTokenizer {
public Token next() throws IOException {
Token t = super.next();
// do something with t
return t;
}
}
{code}

> This patch makes the following improvements to AttributeSource and
> TokenStream/Filter:
> - removes the set/getUseNewAPI() methods (including the standard
> ones). Instead by default incrementToken() throws a subclass of
> UnsupportedOperationException. The indexer tries to call
> incrementToken() initially once to see if the exception is thrown;
> if so, it falls back to the old API.
> - introduces interfaces for all Attributes. The corresponding
> implementations have the postfix 'Impl', e.g. TermAttribute and
> TermAttributeImpl. AttributeSource now has a factory for creating
> the Attribute instances; the default implementation looks for
> implementing classes with the postfix 'Impl'. Token now implements
> all 6 TokenAttribute interfaces.
> - new method added to AttributeSource:
> addAttributeImpl(AttributeImpl). Using reflection it walks up in the
> class hierarchy of the passed in object and finds all interfaces
> that the class or superclasses implement and that extend the
> Attribute interface. It then adds the interface->instance mappings
> to the attribute map for each of the found interfaces.
> - AttributeImpl now has a default implementation of toString that uses
> reflection to print out the values of the attributes in a default
> formatting. This makes it a bit easier to implement AttributeImpl,
> because toString() was declared abstract before.
> - Cloning is now done much more efficiently in
> captureState. The method figures out which unique AttributeImpl
> instances are contained as values in the attributes map, because
> those are the ones that need to be cloned. It creates a single
> linked list that supports deep cloning (in the inner class
> AttributeSource.State). AttributeSource keeps track of when this
> state changes, i.e. whenever new attributes are added to the
> AttributeSource. Only in that case will captureState recompute the
> state, otherwise it will simply clone the precomputed state and
> return the clone. restoreState(AttributeSource.State) walks the
> linked list and uses the copyTo() method of AttributeImpl to copy
> all values over into the attribute that the source stream
> (e.g. SinkTokenizer) uses.
> The cloning performance can be greatly improved if not multiple
> AttributeImpl instances are used in one TokenStream. A user can
> e.g. simply add a Token instance to the stream instead of the individual
> attributes. Or the user could implement a subclass of AttributeImpl that
> implements exactly the Attribute interfaces needed. I think this
> should be considered an expert API (addAttributeImpl), as this manual
> optimization is only needed if cloning performance is crucial. I ran
> some quick performance tests using Tee/Sink tokenizers (which do
> cloning) and the performance was roughly 20% faster with the new
> API. I'll run some more performance tests and post more numbers then.
> Note also that when we add serialization to the Attributes, e.g. for
> supporting storing serialized TokenStreams in the index, then the
> serialization should benefit even significantly more from the new API
> than cloning.
> Also, the TokenStream API does not change, except for the removal
> of the set/getUseNewAPI methods. So the patches in LUCENE-1460
> should still work.
> All core tests pass, however, I need to update all the documentation
> and also add some unit tests for the new AttributeSource
> functionality. So this patch is not ready to commit yet, but I wanted
> to post it already for some feedback.
