Re: Document-Ids and Merges

[Christoph Kaser <lu...@iconparc.de>]

Thank you both Mike and Shai for your answers.

If anyone has a similiar problem:
I ended up using a column that provides my own "document ids", whose 
values I got using the fieldcache.
I then precalculate the indirection per IndexReader and store it in a 
WeakHashMap<IndexReader,float[]> to save the extra lookup.
