Hello again :) I've created a autocompleter class, based on the contrib SpellChecker source code (it creates start1-20 grams, no middle/end grams). The use case for this class, as with most autocompleters, is that it is called on each keypress from the user. What happens is, that on each keypress, a static method 'autocompleteOnField' is called, which creates a new instance of AutoCompleter: autoCompleter = new AutoCompleter(FSDirectory.open(new File(pathToIndex)));
It has a finalize block where it calls the close method of the AutoCompleter (works the same as SpellChecker). In practice, this means that every time a key is hit in the search field, my HDD led blinks. Since I'd like to have an efficient program and reduce stress on the hard drives as much as possible, I'd like to know if there are some tricks to reduce this usage. I already tried using a RAMDirectory instead of FSDirectory, but this eats up too much memory (out-of-mem exception). I'm currently changing the code to have a single instance of the AutoCompleter that is reused every time 'autocompleteOnField' is called -> FSDirectory.open(new File(pathToIndex)) and autocompleter.close() will only be invoked once (until the index is rebuilt/updated), which will probably reduce the IO reads/writes. Are there more ways to improve disk efficiency?
