             Summary: MemoryIndex should be able to wrap TermVector Terms
                 Key: LUCENE-6034
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6034
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/highlighter
            Reporter: David Smiley
            Assignee: David Smiley
             Fix For: 5.0


The default highlighter has a "WeightedSpanTermExtractor" that uses MemoryIndex for certain queries -- basically phrases, SpanQueries, and the like.  For lots of text, this aspect of highlighting is time consuming and consumes a fair amount of memory.  What also consumes memory is that it wraps the tokenStream in CachingTokenFilter in this case.  But if the underlying TokenStream is actually from TokenSources (wrapping TermVector Terms), this is all needless!  Furthermore, MemoryIndex doesn't support payloads.

The patch here has 3 aspects to it:
* Internal refactoring to MemoryIndex to simplify it by maintaining the fields in a sorted state using a TreeMap.  The ramifications of this led to reduced LOC for this file, even with the other features I added.  It also puts the FieldInfo on the Info, and thus there's one less data structure to keep around.  I suppose if there are a huge variety of fields in MemoryIndex, the aggregated N*Log(N) field lookup could add up, but that seems very unlikely.  I also brought in the MemoryIndexNormDocValues as a simple anonymous inner class - it's super-simple after all, not worth having in a separate file.
* New MemoryIndex.addField(String fieldName, Terms) method.  In this case, MemoryIndex is providing the supporting wrappers around the underlying Terms so that it appears as an Index.  In so doing, MemoryIndex supports payloads for such fields.
* WeightedSpanTermExtractor now detects TokenSources' wrapping of Terms and it supplies this to MemoryIndex.
