Why not call IndexSearcher.getIndexReader().getSequentialSubReaders() (see
http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-trunk/javadoc/all/org/apach
e/lucene/index/IndexReader.html). Its public and documented as this:

 

public
<http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-trunk/javadoc/all/org/apac
he/lucene/index/IndexReader.html> IndexReader[] getSequentialSubReaders()

 

Expert: returns the sequential sub readers that this reader is logically
composed of. For example, IndexSearcher uses this API to drive searching by
one sub reader at a time. If this reader is not composed of sequential child
readers, it should return null. If this method returns an empty array, that
means this reader is a null reader (for example a MultiReader that has no
sub readers). 

NOTE: for a MultiSegmentReader, which is obtained by
<http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-trunk/javadoc/all/org/apac
he/lucene/index/IndexReader.html#open(java.lang.String)>
open(java.lang.String) when the index has more than one segment, you should
not use the sub-readers returned by this method to make any changes
(setNorm, deleteDocument, etc.). Doing so will likely lead to index
corruption. Use the parent reader instead. 

 

You only have the problem to replicate the code that gathers the subreaders
of the subreaders itself recursively.

Subject: Re: Bug in TopFieldCollector?

 

Already did !

Another question - I think we somehow broke TopFieldCollector ...
Previously, in TopFieldDocCollector, it accepted an IndexReader as a
parameter, and now it requires IndexReader[], which is called subReaders.
Calling the 'fast' search methods with Sort has no problem obtaining that
IndexReader[] (and sort it), but how would someone use TopFieldCollector w/o
calling the appropriate Searcher methods?

For example, since all the Searcher methods pass in fillFields = true, I
wanted to use the method Searcher.search(Query, TopFieldCollector) in the
test case I wrote, which BTW looks like this:

  public void testSortWithoutFillFields() throws Exception {
    
    // There was previously a bug in TopFieldCollector when fillFields was
set
    // to false - the same doc and score was set in ScoreDoc[] array. This
test
    // asserts that if fillFields is false, the documents are set properly.
It
    // does not use Searcher's default search methods (with Sort) since all
set
    // fillFields to true.
    Sort sort = new Sort();
    int nDocs=10;
    
    TopDocsCollector tdc = new TopFieldCollector(sort, nDocs,
        new IndexReader[] { ((IndexSearcher) full).getIndexReader() },
false);
    
    full.search(new MatchAllDocsQuery(), tdc);

    ScoreDoc[] sd = tdc.topDocs().scoreDocs;
    for (int i = 1; i < sd.length; i++) {
      assertTrue(sd[i].doc != sd[i - 1].doc);
    }
  }

You'll notice that creating a TopFieldCollector now is much more complicated
and *ugly*. As a user of IndexSearcher, I can only call getIndexReader()
which returns a single IndexReader. I don't have access to gatherSubReaders
and sortSubReaders. I don't see why I should have access to them. So it
forces me to create a dummy array with a single IndexReader.

There are two ways I see to solve it:
1. Introduce a getIndexReaders() method on IndexSearcher, which will return
an array of (sorted?) IndexReader.
2. Introduce a new constructor in TopFieldCollector which accepts a single
IndexReader and make the other one package-private (for use by IndexSearcher
only). That constructor can internally create a dummy array of readers, but
at least it's private to the constructor and not exposed to the rest of the
world.

Otherwise, I think it ruins TopFieldCollector and will make it a lot less
intuitive to use. At least, people who'd want to move from
TopFieldDocCollector to TopFieldCollector, will find it very inconvenient
and strange.

What do you think? I can do that (2) as part of 1575. If (1) is better, then
I think a different issue should be opened, because we might want to return
such an array as sorted or something, which makes it less trivial.

Looks like quite a bug, Shai!  Thanks.  It came in with LUCENE-1483.
I would say add test case & fix it under 1575.
