Kay Kay updated SOLR-972:
-------------------------

    Summary: EventListener-s creation changed from a per request ( full / 
delta-imports) scenario to once through the lifetime of the DIH plugin.  (was: 
EventListener are not created per request ( full / delta-imports) but rather 
instantiated once per lifetime of the application - maintaining state + 
efficient )

> The EventListener plugin for notification of start / end import events 
> (SOLR-938) creates an instance of EventListener before every notification. 
> This has 2 drawbacks. 
> * No state is stored between successive invocations of events as it is a new 
> object 
> * When writing plugins for delta imports - it is very inefficient to do a 
> class loader lookup by reflection / instantiate an instance and call a method 
> on the same. 
> Attached patch has one EventListener through the lifetime of the DIH plugin . 
> Also EventListener is changed to an interface rather than an abstract class 
> for better decoupling (especially painful when the start/end eventlistener 
> has an independent hierarchy by itself ). 
> By default, a no-op listener is registered to avoid boiler plate code to 
> check if there is a start / end listener specified.  Efficient JRE impls 
> should be able to optimize the no-op for minimum overhead compared to 
> checking the reference for null and branching out. 
> Specifying an onImportStart / onImportEnd overrides the default handler 
> though.
