[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-2632) FilteringCodec, TeeCodec, TeeDirectory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13207566#comment-13207566 ] 

Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-2632:
---------------------------------------

Hey cool, sounds like this unmaintainable ParallelReaders obsolete by doing the splitting to several directories/parallel fields in the codec - so merging automtically works correct with every MP?

> {code}
> The end result of this chain is two indexes that are kept in sync - one is the full regular index, and the other one is a filtered index.

Re: [jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-2632) FilteringCodec, TeeCodec, TeeDirectory

Posted by eks dev <ek...@yahoo.co.uk>.
cool indeed!

Now I can easily create full blown index on master and search (or
replicate) only a subset I need to search.

New use cases possible with this:
-  Today one has to blow-up term directory with  XXXMio unique ids
just to support deletions. Often a thing only needed during indexing.
For search only slaves, it is often sufficient to have uid as a stored
field (if at all), but term dictionary does not get bloated.

- possibility to simply store original documents in one index (kind of
key-value store) ,  but to search /distribute much smaller index. This
enables many new scenarios where Lucene takes storage responsibility
(Lucene overtakes Database role in many cases).
