Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-584: ------------------------------------- For the moment a DocId is an int, but that might change to long sooner than we think. So DocIdSet... would be a better name than IntegerSet..., and it's better to use an abstract superclass than an interface: {code} abstract class DocIdSetIterator { boolean next(); boolean skipTo(int next); int doc(); } // and the rest is in the patch, except the superclass for Matcher: abstract class Matcher extends DocIdSetIterator { Explanation explain(int doc); } abstract class Scorer extends Matcher { float score(); ... } {code} Would this DocIdSetIterator be close enough to the IntegerSetIterator? > Decouple Filter from BitSet > --------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-584 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-584 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Peter Schäfer > Assignee: Michael Busch > Priority: Minor > Attachments: bench-diff.txt, bench-diff.txt, lucene-584-take2.patch, > lucene-584.patch, Matcher-20070905-2default.patch, > Matcher-20070905-3core.patch, Matcher-20071122-1ground.patch, Some > Matchers.zip > > > {code} > package org.apache.lucene.search; > public abstract class Filter implements java.io.Serializable > { > public abstract AbstractBitSet bits(IndexReader reader) throws IOException; > } > public interface AbstractBitSet > { > public boolean get(int index); > } > {code} > It would be useful if the method =Filter.bits()= returned an abstract > interface, instead of =java.util.BitSet=. > Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's > privileges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible. > Sparsely populated =java.util.BitSet=s are not efficient and waste lots of > memory.
