Michael McCandless reassigned LUCENE-776: ----------------------------------------- Assignee: Michael McCandless > Use WeakHashMap instead of Hashtable in FSDirectory > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-776 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-776 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Nicolas Lalevée > Assigned To: Michael McCandless > Priority: Trivial > > I was just reading the FSDirectory java code, then I found this : > /** This cache of directories ensures that there is a unique Directory > * instance per path, so that synchronization on the Directory can be used > to > * synchronize access between readers and writers. > * > * This should be a WeakHashMap, so that entries can be GC'd, but that would > * require Java 1.2. Instead we use refcounts... > */ > private static final Hashtable DIRECTORIES = new Hashtable(); > Since Lucene is now requiring at least 1.2 (for ThreadLocal for instance, > which is using BTW some WeakHashMap), maybe it is time to change ? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://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]
