Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-2312: ------------------------------------------ I set out implementing a simple method DocumentsWriter.getTerms which should return a sorted array of terms over the current RAM buffer. While I think this can be implemented, there's a lot of code in the index package to handle multiple threads, which is fine, except I'm concerned the interleaving of postings won't perform well. So I think we'd want to implement what's been discussed in LUCENE-2293, per thread ram buffers. With that change, it seems implementing this issue could be straightforward. > Search on IndexWriter's RAM Buffer > ---------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2312 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2312 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Search > Affects Versions: 3.0.1 > Reporter: Jason Rutherglen > Fix For: 3.0.2 > > > In order to offer user's near realtime search, without incurring > an indexing performance penalty, we can implement search on > IndexWriter's RAM buffer. This is the buffer that is filled in > RAM as documents are indexed. Currently the RAM buffer is > flushed to the underlying directory (usually disk) before being > made searchable. > Todays Lucene based NRT systems must incur the cost of merging > segments, which can slow indexing. > Michael Busch has good suggestions regarding how to handle deletes using max > doc ids. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2293?focusedCommentId=12841923&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12841923 > The area that isn't fully fleshed out is the terms dictionary, > which needs to be sorted prior to queries executing.
