DM Smith commented on LUCENE-1333:
----------------------------------
All the code has been migrated to use the reuse interface. I have run all the
tests and they pass. (There is a weird dependency. One test depends upon demo.
I hacked that to work.) I did not test to see if the code were any slower or
faster. I'm not sure how one would do that. I think it should be faster since
it doesn't bounce back and forth with termText and termBuffer.
I did not improve the code to use char[] instead of String. The places that can
be improved call Token.setTermBuffer(String). I don't think these are necessary
to this issue being resolved.
A couple of other minor opportunities for char[] manipulation via
o.a.l.util.ArrayUtil.
Here and there, there is a need to remove leading and trailing whitespace from
input before (sub-)tokenizing it. Currently this is done with String.trim(),
even when working with char[]. It is sub-optimal as marshalling it into a
String involves allocation and copying. Likewise, so does getting it out. It
would be better to have int trim(char[]) which shifts leading spaces off the
front and returns the length of the string without trailing spaces.
There is a "randomize" routine that shuffles an array. While this is only used
in one place, it appears to be general purpose array manipulation.

> Issues:
> 1. JavaDoc is insufficient, leading one to read the code to figure out how to
> use the class.
> 2. Deprecations are incomplete. The constructors that take String as an
> argument and the methods that take and/or return String should *all* be
> deprecated.
> 3. The allocation policy is too aggressive. With large tokens the resulting
> buffer can be over-allocated. A less aggressive algorithm would be better. In
> the thread, the Python example is good as it is computationally simple.
> 4. The parts of the code that currently use Token's deprecated methods can be
> upgraded now rather than waiting for 3.0. As it stands, filter chains that
> alternate between char[] and String are sub-optimal. Currently, it is used in
> core by Query classes. The rest are in contrib, mostly in analyzers.
> 5. Some internal optimizations can be done with regard to char[] allocation.
> 6. TokenStream has next() and next(Token), next() should be deprecated, so
> that reuse is maximized and descendant classes should be rewritten to
> over-ride next(Token)
> 7. Tokens are often stored as a String in a Term. It would be good to add
> constructors that took a Token. This would simplify the use of the two
> together.
