stimpy77 edited comment on LUCENENET-103 at 10/16/07 4:04 PM: --------------------------------------------------------------- I should add, the objective for cloning was to make it more performant. The Directory copy approach was slower. For our purposes, the difference was thirty seconds for a manual RAMDirectory duplication using IndexWriter.AddIndexes(), 1299ms for Directory.Copy, versus 669ms for a deep clone, and 47.66ms for a shallow clone (and a LOT less RAM usage). We are going with a shallow clone because this is a multi-threaded server and there are thread locks all over the Lucene objects, but we don't modify a RAMDirectory once it is loaded. Rather, we rebuild the RAMDirectory in the equivalent of a cron job, then clone it across multiple threads. In my environment I implemented ICloneable already, using the referenced hyperlink. {code} namespace Lucene.Net.Store { ... public sealed class RAMDirectory : Directory, ICloneable { ... #region ICloneable Members /// <summary> /// Creates a clone of the RAMDirectory. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is true, the clone is made /// at the byte level. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is false, the clone is made /// at the buffers' references level. /// </summary> /// <param name="deep"> /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is true, the clone is made /// at the byte level. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is false, the clone is made /// at the buffers' references level. /// </param> /// <returns>A RAMDirectory object.</returns> public object Clone(bool deep) { RAMDirectory clone = new RAMDirectory(); System.Collections.IDictionaryEnumerator enmr = files.GetEnumerator(); while (enmr.MoveNext()) { string name = (string)enmr.Key; RAMFile rf = (RAMFile)enmr.Value; clone.files.Add(name, rf.Clone(deep)); } return clone; } /// <summary> /// Creates a semi-shallow clone of this RAMDirectory, with /// instanced RAMFiles that have shared dependency upon /// the binary data. /// </summary> /// <returns>A new RAMDirectory with dependency on this RAMDirectory's RAMFile binary data.</returns> public object Clone() { return Clone(false); } #endregion } class RAMFile : ICloneable { ... #region ICloneable Members /// <summary> /// Creates a clone of the RAMFile. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is true, the clone is made /// at the byte level. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is false, the clone is made /// at the buffers' references level. /// </summary> /// <param name="deep"> /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is true, the clone is made /// at the byte level. /// If <paramref name="deep"/> is false, the clone is made /// at the buffers' references level. /// </param> /// <returns>A RAMFile object.</returns> public object Clone(bool deep) { RAMFile clone = new RAMFile(); if (!deep) { // ArrayList.Clone not helpful because original ArrayList created synchronized // .. does clone from synchronized retain original sync context ties? //clone.buffers = (System.Collections.ArrayList) buffers.Clone(); clone.buffers = System.Collections.ArrayList.Synchronized(new System.Collections.ArrayList(buffers.Count)); for (int i = 0; i < buffers.Count; i++) clone.buffers.Add(buffers[i]); } else { clone.buffers = System.Collections.ArrayList.Synchronized(new System.Collections.ArrayList(buffers.Count)); for (int i = 0; i < buffers.Count; i++) { byte[] buf = (byte[])buffers[i]; byte[] cloneBuf = (byte[])buf.Clone(); clone.buffers.Add(cloneBuf); } } clone.length = length; clone.lastModified = lastModified; return clone; } /// <summary> /// Creates a shallow clone of the RAMFile. /// </summary> /// <returns>A new RAMFile with dependency on this RAMFile's binary data.</returns> public object Clone() { return Clone(false); } #endregion } } {code} was (Author: stimpy77): I should add, the objective for cloning was to make it more performant.
