Re: Custom Sorting

[psyron <ms...@psyron.com>]

Thanks Erik, that helped me a lot ...

but still have somthing, i am not sure about:

If i am using a custom sort - like the DistanceComparator example described
in "oh" your book - and i debugged the code and seem to understand that
the the distances-array is created for all indexed documents - not only
for the search result. The compare-function is then called only for the
docs of the search result, right?
My problem is now, that i wonder, if it is not possible to compute only the
distances from the documents of the search result (that should help the
performance, if there are a lot of documents, but the search result is
mostly very small, right?)

Another point:
Of course it also could be interesting to compute all distances for all
documents the first time a new start location is given, in the case, that
you want do a lot of queries from the same location. But this would then
only make sense, if all distances are cached together with the location
value.
I am not sure how things are actually handled in lucene/solr. What and
at which timer things are cached?

To compute distances only for the search result, i could
- store the reader instance in a variable
- for every doc-id called in the compare function the first time, i could
  compute the distance at this moment
- and then compare
Would this work? Or is there a better way to compute the distances
only on the search result?

A lot of questions, i know,

Thanks for the good book,
Markus
