implement streams as field values
---------------------------------
Key: LUCENENET-417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-417
Project: Lucene.Net
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Lucene.Net Core
Reporter: Christopher Currens
Adding binary values to a field is an expensive operation, as the whole binary
data must be loaded into memory and then written to the index. Adding the
ability to use a stream instead of a byte array could not only speed up the
indexing process, but reducing the memory footprint as well.
Java lucene has the ability to use a TextReader the both analyze and store text
in the index. .NET lacks the ability to store the data in the index, due to
the fact that .net TextReaders cannot seek or reset the position of the stream.
This should be a feature added into Lucene.NET as well. My thoughts are to
add another Field constructor, that is Field(string name, System.IO.Stream
stream, System.Text.Encoding encoding), that will allow the text to be analyzed
and stored into the index.
Comments about this approach are greatly appreciated.
