LUCENE-9003: Compute numDocs() lazily. (#939)
> Should FilterDirectoryReader compute numDocs lazily?
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9003
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9003
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> FilterDirectoryReader extends BaseCompositeReader, which computes both maxDoc
> and numDocs eagerly in its constructor by summing up these values across all
> sub leaves.
> This is problematic for readers that hide additional documents. Computing
> numDocs on such leaf readers usually requires iterating over all live
> documents to count them. This makes creating a FilterDirectoryReader on top
> run in linear time, which has caused several performance bugs to us over
> time. This is especially frustrating given that numDocs is a rarely used
> index statistic.
> I think computing numDocs lazily would be less surprising?
