Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8321: -------------------------------------- bq. we could try it out and see what it looks like? +1 I'd be curious to know how much of a rabbit hole this change would end up being. > Allow composite readers to have more than 2B documents > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-8321 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8321 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Adrien Grand > Priority: Minor > > I would like to start discussing removing the limit of ~2B documents that we > have for indices, while still enforcing it at the segment level for practical > reasons. > Postings, stored fields, and all other codec APIs would keep working on > integers to represent doc ids. Only top-level doc ids and numbers of > documents would need to move to a long. I say "only" because we now mostly > consume indices per-segment, but there is still a number of places where we > identify documents by their top-level doc ID like {{IndexReader#document}}, > top-docs collectors, etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
