Sivan Yogev commented on LUCENE-4258:
-------------------------------------
Started switching to the invert-first approach following Mike's advices. My
thought was to have a single directory for each fields update, and when
flushing do something similar to IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader...) and
build the stacked segment. However, I encountered two problems with this
approach:
1. If a certain document is updated more than once in a certain generation, two
inverted documents should be merged into one,
2. extension to 1, where a field added in the first update is to be replaced in
the second one.
So, what I will try to do in such cases is to move the later updates to a new
update generation. This will increase the number of generations, but I think
it's a fair price to pay in light of the benefits offered by the invert-first
approach.
