[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-3240) add spellcheck 'approximate
collation count' mode
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13293099#comment-13293099 ]
Robert Muir commented on SOLR-3240:
-----------------------------------
I think so!
We could optimize it further by ensuring that we arent collecting scores or anything (e.g. i think we should be wrapping something like a TotalHitCollector (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/search/TotalHitCountCollector.java?view=markup), or just not wrapping any collector at all?
But this patch is probably a good improvement for the worst case.

> SpellCheck's Collation in Solr is a way to ensure spellcheck/suggestions
> will actually net results (taking into account context like filtering).
> In order to do this (from my understanding), it generates candidate queries,
> executes them, and saves the total hit count: collation.setHits(hits).
> For a large index it seems this might be doing too much work: in particular
> I'm interested in ensuring this feature can work fast enough/well for autosuggesters.
> So I think we should offer an 'approximate' mode that uses an early-terminating
> Collector, collect()ing only N docs (e.g. n=1), and we approximate this result
> count based on docid space.
> I'm not sure what needs to happen on the solr side (possibly support for custom collectors?),
> but I think this could help and should possibly be the default.
