Hello everybody,
I'm looking at quite an interesting challenge right now, so I
hope that somebody out there will be able to assist me.
What I'm trying to do is returning search results both sorted and
paginated. So far I haven't been able to come up with a working solution.
Pagination without sorting is no problem - simply looping through the
document identifiers and grabbing the documents within my "pagination
window".
Sorting is also no problem - create the Sort object and executing the
search.
However, when using a Sort I always get a TopDocs object in which all
the identifiers of the documents are contained. No problem when dealing
with a small index, but I've some 700.000 documents indexed and each
time I'm trying to call
TopDocs topDocs =
indexSearcher.search(query, null, Integer.MAX_VALUE, sort);
I'm ending up with an OutOfMemoryError.
So it seems that Lucene needs all the documents loaded into memory for
the sorting to work where in contrast I only want to load the documents
to be displayed in the current pagination window.
Am I lost here and have to find another way or is there a working
solution to combine sorting and pagination?
Thanks in advance!
Chris
