Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1219: -------------------------------------------- Eks, could we instead add this to Field: byte[] binaryValue(byte[] result) and then default the current binaryValue() to just call binaryValue(null)? And similar in Document add: byte[] getBinaryValue(String name, byte[] result) These would work the same way that TokenStream.next(Token result) works, ie, the method should try to use the result passed in, if it works, and return that; else it's free to allocate its own new byte[] and return it? And then only LazyField's implementation of binaryValue(byte[] result) would use byte[] result if it's large enough? Also ... it'd be nice to have a way to do this re-use in the non-lazy case. Ie somehow load a stored doc, but passing in your own Document result which would attempt to re-use the Field instances & byte[] for the binary fields. But we should open another issue to explore that... > support array/offset/ length setters for Field with binary data > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1219 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1219 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Eks Dev > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LUCENE-1219.extended.patch, LUCENE-1219.patch, > LUCENE-1219.patch, LUCENE-1219.patch, LUCENE-1219.patch, > LUCENE-1219.take2.patch, LUCENE-1219.take3.patch > > > currently Field/Fieldable interface supports only compact, zero based byte > arrays.
