Mark Harwood commented on LUCENE-4069:
--------------------------------------
A quick benchmark looks like the new right-sized bitset as opposed to the old
worst-case-scenario-sized bitset is buying us a small performance improvement.
bq. I also don't think this PF should be per-field
There was a lengthy discussion earlier on this topic. The approach presented
here seems reasonable.
For the average user you have the DefaultBloomFilterFactory default which now
has reasonable sizing for all fields passed its way (assuming a heuristic based
on numDocs=numKeys to anticipate). For expert users you can provide a
BloomFilterFactory with a custom choice of sizing heuristic per-field and can
also simply return "null" for non-bloomed fields.
Having a single, carefully configured BloomPF wrapper is preferable because you
can channel appropriately configured bloom settings to a common PF delegate and
avoid creating multiple .tii, .tis files etc because the PerFieldPF isn't smart
enough to figure out that these Bloom-ing choices do not require different
physical files for all the delegated tii etc structures.
You don't *have* to use the Per-field stuff in BloomPF but there are benefits
to be had in doing so which can't otherwise be achieved.
bq. Can you add @lucene.experimental to all the new APIs?
Done.

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 3.6, 4.0-ALPHA
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
> Attachments: BloomFilterPostingsBranch4x.patch,
> LUCENE-4069-tryDeleteDocument.patch, LUCENE-4203.patch,
> MHBloomFilterOn3.6Branch.patch, PKLookupUpdatePerfTest.java,

>
> An addition to each segment which stores a Bloom filter for selected fields
> in order to give fast-fail to term searches, helping avoid wasted disk access.
> Best suited for low-frequency fields e.g. primary keys on big indexes with
> many segments but also speeds up general searching in my tests.
> Overview slideshow here:
> http://www.slideshare.net/MarkHarwood/lucene-bloomfilteredsegments
> Benchmarks based on Wikipedia content here: http://goo.gl/X7QqU
> Patch based on 3.6 codebase attached.
> There are no 3.6 API changes currently - to play just add a field with "_blm"
> on the end of the name to invoke special indexing/querying capability.
> Clearly a new Field or schema declaration(!) would need adding to APIs to
> configure the service properly.
> Also, a patch for Lucene4.0 codebase introducing a new PostingsFormat
