Hi there,
Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding the situation but after playing around
with cache warming in Solr I found that the order of the Query objects
within the filters list makes a difference to the equals() and hashCode()
methods.
Query query = new TermQuery(new Term("field1", "value1"));
Query filter1 = new TermQuery(new Term("field2", "value2"));
Query filter2 = new TermQuery(new Term("field3", "value3"));
List<Query> filters1 = new ArrayList<Query>();
filters1.add(filter1);
filters1.add(filter2);
List<Query> filters2 = new ArrayList<Query>();
filters2.add(filter2);
filters2.add(filter1);
QueryResultKey key1 = new QueryResultKey(query, filters1, null, 0);
QueryResultKey key2 = new QueryResultKey(query, filters2, null, 0);
// Both the following assertions fail
assert key1.equals(key2);
assert key1.hashCode() == key2.hashCode();
I found that it resulted in a cache miss for two queries that have the same
results just because the filters had a different ordering. Am I missing
something or is there an opportunity to improve the chance of matching cache
entries?
