I've had very gratifying results using the DirectPostingFormat to speed up queries when I had a read-only index with plenty of memory. The only downside was the need to specify it within the Codec, and thus write it into the index.
Ever since, I've wondered if we could change things to introduce the same goodness without building it into the codec. Very roughly, I'm imagining an option in the IndexReader to provide an object that can surround the codec that is called for in the stored format. Is this an old question? Is it worth sketching a patch? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
