[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-1001) Add Payload retrieval to Spans
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1001?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Mark Miller updated LUCENE-1001:
--------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-1001.patch
Anyone still have a use case for this issue?
Here is a patch that I think fixes the orderedspans problem - need to test further, but that may be the last piece on those parts.
Beyond that, I think that a span uses only one clause to determine if a payload is available for the whole span - it seems to me we have to ask every clause.
As far as the ordering of returned payloads, I don't see how they can be ordered by the user without having some info in the payload itself - I mean its just going to be a collection of byte arrays right? How could you order them? Seems at most you can say those payloads came from the given span and use them all.
The more I look at spans the less I understand them I think <g> Its like repeating certain words over and over.
