Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-1052:
--------------------------------------
I think we should be cautious about adding a new public interface or abstract
class to support just this feature. If we want to add a generic configuration
API for Lucene, then I'd prefer something fully general, like what I proposed
on the mailing list, not something specific to configuring TermInfosReader.
Otherwise we'll keep adding new configuration interfaces and adding more
parameters to IndexReader constructors each time we wish to make some obscure
feature configurable.
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/54421#54421
In the model proposed there, adding a new configuration parameter involves just
adding a new static method to the public class that implements a new
configurable feature.
> Add an "termInfosIndexDivisor" to IndexReader

> Key: LUCENE-1052
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1052
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.3
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-1052.patch, termInfosConfigurer.patch

>
> The termIndexInterval, set during indexing time, let's you tradeoff
> how much RAM is used by a reader to load the indexed terms vs cost of
> seeking to the specific term you want to load.
> But the downside is you must set it at indexing time.
> This issue adds an indexDivisor to TermInfosReader so that on opening
> a reader you could further sub-sample the the termIndexInterval to use
> less RAM. EG a setting of 2 means every 2 * termIndexInterval is
> loaded into RAM.
> This is particularly useful if your index has a great many terms (eg
> you accidentally indexed binary terms).
> Spinoff from this thread:
