I got the sense from Paul's post that he wanted a solution that didn't
require changing his index, although I'm not sure there is one. Paul if
you're willing to re-index, you could also store the length of the text
as a numeric field, retrieve that and use it to drive the decision about
whether to highlight.

Simply have two fields, "full_body" and "limited_body". The former
would index but not store the full document text from Tika (the
"content" metadata.) The latter would store but not necessarily index
the first 10K or so characters of the full text. Do searches on the
full body field and highlighting on the limited body field.

Subject: Fast way to get the start of document
Our Hit highlighting (Using the older Highlighter) is wired with a
"too huge" limit, so we could skip the multi-million character files,
not just for highlighter.setMaxDocCharsToAnalyze, but if a document is
really above the too huge limit, we don't
even try, and just produce a fragment from the front of the document.
This results in almost reasonable response to time, even for a result
sets of crazy huge documents (or ones with just 1 huge doc). I think
this is all pretty normal. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Given the above, while timing what was going on, I realized that I was
reading in the entire body of the text in the skip highlighting case
just to grab the 1st 100 or so characters.
I was doing
String text = fieldable.stringValue(); // Oh my!
Is there a way to _not_ read the whole multi-million characters in and
only _start_ reading the contents of a large field? See code below
which got me no better results.
Some details
1. Using Lucene 3.4
2. Storing the (Tika) parse text of documents
a. These are human produced documents; PDF, word etc. often 10K
of characters, sometimes 100Ks, but very occasionally a few million)
3. At this time, we store positions, but not offsets.
4. We are using the old Highlighter, not the
FastVectorHighlighter (because of #3 above).
5. A basic search result is a page of 10 documents with short
"blurb" (one fragment that shows a good hit).
I would be willing to live with a token stream to gen the intro blurb,
but using the following code when under the too large code path
(forget the highlighting) can add .5 seconds (compared to not reading
anything which is not a solution just a comparison).
So here is my code.
Fieldable textFld = doc.getFieldable(TEXT);
if ( fullTextLength <= EXTRA_LARGE_DOC_HIGHLIGHT_LIMIT ) {
blurb = highlightBlurb(scoreDoc, document, textFld,
workingBlurbLen);
} else {
logger.debug("----------- didn't call highlighter
textLength = " + fullTextLength);
TokenStream tokenStream =
TokenSources.getAnyTokenStream(indexReader, scoreDoc.doc, TEXT,
document, analyzer);
OffsetAttribute offset =
tokenStream.addAttribute(OffsetAttribute.class);
CharTermAttribute charTerm =
tokenStream.addAttribute(CharTermAttribute.class);
StringBuilder blurbB = new StringBuilder("");
while (tokenStream.incrementToken() && blurbB.length() <
workingBlurbLen) {
blurbB.append(charTerm.toString());
blurbB.append(" ");
}
blurb = blurbB.toString();
}
What could I do in the else that is faster? Is not having offsets
effecting this code path?
While your answering the above, I will be running some stats to
suggest to management why we SHOULD store offsets, so we can use
FastVectorHighlighter,
but I'm afraid I might still want the too-huge-to-highlight path.
