Mike Sokolov commented on LUCENE-3234:
--------------------------------------
Yes, that makes sense to me - default to 5000, say, and set explicitly to
either MAX_VALUE or -1 to get the unlimited behavior (I prefer to allow -1
since otherwise you should probably treat it as an error). Do you want me to
change the patch, or should I just leave that to the committer?

> With larger documents, FVH can spend a lot of time trying to find the
> best-scoring snippet as it examines every possible phrase formed from
> matching terms in the document. If one is willing to accept
> less-than-perfect scoring by limiting the number of phrases that are
> examined, substantial speedups are possible. This is analogous to the
> Highlighter limit on the number of characters to analyze.
> The patch includes an artifical test case that shows > 1000x speedup. In a
> more normal test environment, with English documents and random queries, I am
> seeing speedups of around 3-10x when setting phraseLimit=1, which has the
> effect of selecting the first possible snippet in the document. Most of our
> sites operate in this way (just show the first snippet), so this would be a
> big win for us.
> With phraseLimit = -1, you get the existing FVH behavior. At larger values of
> phraseLimit, you may not get substantial speedup in the normal case, but you
> do get the benefit of protection against blow-up in pathological cases.
