Make external scoring more efficient (ExternalFileField, FileFloatSource)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-2583
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2583
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: search
Reporter: Martin Grotzke
Priority: Minor
External scoring eats much memory, depending on the number of documents in the
index. The ExternalFileField (used for external scoring) uses FileFloatSource,
where one FileFloatSource is created per external scoring file. FileFloatSource
creates a float array with the size of the number of docs (this is also done if
the file to load is not found). If there are much less entries in the scoring
file than there are number of docs in total the big float array wastes much
memory.
This could be optimized by using a map of doc -> score, so that the map
contains as many entries as there are scoring entries in the external file, but
not more.
