Fuad Efendi commented on LUCENE-2230: ------------------------------------- Hi Uwe, Thanks for the analysis! I spent only few days on this basic PoC. I need to use IndexReader (index version number and etc.) also to rewarm a cache; if term disappeared from index we can still leave it in BKTree (not a problem; can't remove!), and if we have new term we need simply call {code}public void add(E term){code} Synchronization should be significantly improved... Cache warming takes 10-15 seconds in my environment, about 250k tokens, and I use TreeSet internally for fast lookup. I also believe that main performance issue is related to Levenstein algo (which is significantly improved in trunk; plus synchronization is removed from FuzzySearch: LUCENE-2258) Regarding memory requirements: BKTree is not heavy... I should use {code}StringHelper.intern(fld);{code} - it's already in memory... and FuzzyTermEnum uses almost same amount of memory for processing as BKTree. I'll check FieldCache. BKTree-approach can be significantly improved. > Lucene Fuzzy Search: BK-Tree can improve performance 3-20 times. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2230 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2230 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Environment: Lucene currently uses brute force full-terms scanner and > calculates distance for each term.
