------------------------------------------
Summary: Simplify the default indexing chain
Key: LUCENE-5611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5611
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core/index
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
Fix For: 4.9, 5.0
I think Lucene's current indexing chain has too many classes /
hierarchy / abstractions, making it look much more complex than it
really should be, and discouraging users from experimenting/innovating
with their own indexing chains.
Also, if it were easier to understand/approach, then new developers
would more likely try to improve it ... it really should be simpler.
So I'm exploring a pared back indexing chain, and have a starting patch
that I think is looking ok: it seems more approachable than the
current indexing chain, or at least has fewer strange classes.
I also thought this could give some speedup for tiny documents (a more
common use of Lucene lately), and it looks like, with the evil
optimizations, this is a ~25% speedup for Geonames docs. Even without
those evil optos it's a bit faster.
This is very much a work in progress / nocommits, and there are some
behavior changes e.g. the new chain requires all fields to have the
same TV options (rather than auto-upgrading all fields by the same
name that the current chain does)...
