[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-509?page=comments#action_12442154 ] Steven Tamm commented on LUCENE-509: ------------------------------------
[[ Old comment, sent by email on Fri, 23 Jun 2006 09:16:17 -0700 ]] It does. There isn't a real performance difference between LOAD_AND_BREAK and my getField thing, except it'll create two extra objects (Vector & Document). Probably not that big a deal since the bigger issue was the IO in reading the rest of the document. Close mine out. -Steven > Performance optimization when retrieving a single field from a document > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-509 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-509 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 1.9, 2.0.0 > Reporter: Steven Tamm > Assigned To: Otis Gospodnetic > Attachments: DocField.patch, DocField_2.patch, DocField_3.patch, > DocField_4.patch, DocField_4b.patch > > > If you just want to retrieve a single field from a Document, the only way to > do it is to retrieve all the fields from the Document and then search it. > This patch is an optimization that allows you retrieve a specific field from > a document without instantiating a lot of field and string objects.

There's also a unit test. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
