if a filter can support random access API, we should use it -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1536 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1536 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Improvement Components: Search Affects Versions: 2.4 Reporter: Michael McCandless Assignee: Michael McCandless Priority: Minor I ran some performance tests, comparing applying a filter via random-access API instead of current trunk's iterator API. This was inspired by LUCENE-1476, where we realized deletions should really be implemented just like a filter, but then in testing found that switching deletions to iterator was a very sizable performance hit. Some notes on the test: * Index is first 2M docs of Wikipedia. Test machine is Mac OS X 10.5.6, quad core Intel CPU, 6 GB RAM, java 1.6.0_07-b06-153. * I test across multiple queries. 1-X means an OR query, eg 1-4 means 1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4, whereas +1-4 is an AND query, ie 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4. "u s" means "united states" (phrase search). * I test with multiple filter densities (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 75, 90, 95, 98, 99, 99.99999 (filter is non-null but all bits are set), 100 (filter=null, control)). * Method high means I use random-access filter API in IndexSearcher's main loop. Method low means I use random-access filter API down in SegmentTermDocs (just like deleted docs today). * Baseline (QPS) is current trunk, where filter is applied as iterator up "high" (ie in IndexSearcher's search loop). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
