[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-2279) eliminate pathological performance on StopFilter when using a Set instead of CharArraySet

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2279?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13114140#comment-13114140 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2279:
-------------------------------------

since we have merged lucene and solr, and chris has fixed analyzer to have a performant api, not by experts but by default, I think we can mark this issue resolved?

> passing a Set<Srtring> to a StopFilter instead of a CharArraySet results in a very slow filter.
> this is because for each document, Analyzer.tokenStream() is called, which ends up calling the StopFilter (if used). And if a regular Set<String> is used in the StopFilter all the elements of the set are copied to a CharArraySet, as we can see in it's ctor:
> public StopFilter(boolean enablePositionIncrements, TokenStream input, Set stopWords, boolean ignoreCase)
>   {
>     super(input);
>     if (stopWords instanceof CharArraySet) {
>       this.stopWords = (CharArraySet)stopWords;
>     } else {
>       this.stopWords = new CharArraySet(stopWords.size(), ignoreCase);
>       this.stopWords.addAll(stopWords);
>     }
>     this.enablePositionIncrements = enablePositionIncrements;
>     init();
>   }
> i feel we should make the StopFilter signature specific, as in specifying CharArraySet vs Set, and there should be a JavaDoc warning on using the other variants of the StopFilter as they all result in a copy for each invocation of Analyzer.tokenStream().
