David Smiley updated LUCENE-4057:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 4.7)
4.8
> Add Codec.merge()
> -----------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-4057
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4057
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0-ALPHA
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Fix For: 4.8
>
>
> Currently individual codec components can override/optimize merging, e.g. the
> stored fields impl
> uses bulk copying when possible, and so on.
> SegmentMerger contains the logic for merging the different codec components,
> for example it does
> mergeFieldInfos(), then mergeFields(), mergeTerms(), and so on. Each of these
> methods interacts
> with the codec apis to finish the merge.
> I think it would be cleaner if SegmentMerger called a new method,
> Codec.merge(), which contained
> this logic instead. This way someone could customize this process. I think we
> could probably even
> push some of the impl-dependent stuff (like matchingSegmentReaders) into the
> impl and out of SegmentMerger.
> Setting this for 4.1, I think it would be a nice cleanup but I don't plan on
> working on this immediately,
> and I think we can do this in a backwards compatible way in a minor release.
