Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2205: -------------------------------------------- We've done something very similar to this, on the "flex" branch at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/branches/flex_1458 (which should land for Lucene 3.1), eg have a look at the oal.index.codecs.standard.SimpleStandardTermsIndexReader, in the inner CoreFieldIndex class, where we use single arrays to track the value for each indexed term. > Rework of the TermInfosReader class to remove the Terms[], TermInfos[], and > the index pointer long[] and create a more memory efficient data structure. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2205 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2205 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Java5 > Reporter: Aaron McCurry > Attachments: patch-final.txt, RandomAccessTest.java, rawoutput.txt > > > Basically packing those three arrays into a byte array with an int array as > an index offset. > The performance benefits are stagering on my test index (of size 6.2 GB, with > ~1,000,000 documents and ~175,000,000 terms), the memory needed to load the > terminfos into memory were reduced to 17% of there original size. From 291.5 > MB to 49.7 MB. The random access speed has been made better by 1-2%, load > time of the segments are ~40% faster as well, and full GC's on my JVM were > made 7 times faster. > I have already performed the work and am offering this code as a patch. > Currently all test in the trunk pass with this new code enabled. I did write > a system property switch to allow for the original implementation to be used > as well. > -Dorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader=default or small > I have also written a blog about this patch here is the link. > http://www.nearinfinity.com/blogs/aaron_mccurry/my_first_lucene_patch.html -- 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
