Felix Knecht closed COCOON-2065.

    Resolution: Fixed

Due to a lack of knowledge I haven't close the bug after fixing the issues in the last open active branch.

> PROBLEM:
> The LuceneIndexTransformer optimizes the Lucene index every time you add an entry to the index.
> This slows down enormously the indexing with a large index ! If upon every checkin of a document eg,
> you use it to update the entry, it will slow down.
> Eg. I have a Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz, Lucene index contains 10 000 doc.
> Where the index update only takes say 60ms, the optimize that get's called, can take 7 seconds!
> SOLUTION:
> I've created a patch that introduces an option "optimize-frequency" to determine the frequency of the optimize call.
> It defaults to 1 (current behaviour), when a user sets it to 50, only once every 50 updates the index will be optimized etc....
> If no optimization is wanted, you can set it to 0.
> This is compliant to the Lucene documentation (fragment of Lucene FAQ):
> "The IndexWriter class supports an optimize() method that compacts the index database and speedup queries. You may want to use this method after performing a complete indexing of your document set or after incremental updates of the index. If your incremental update adds documents frequently, you want to perform the optimization only once in a while to avoid the extra overhead of the optimization."
> PATCH  INFO:
> added configuration option + a function  "needToOptimize()" which is called before optimizing.
> needToOptimize() uses a random function generator, to keep code simple.
> - when the option is not set, CODE WILL BE EXECUTED AS BEFORE
> - tested one 2.1.11 SVN branch, but no differences in the "main" trunk thus can be applied there also.
> - Updated API docs
> - if patch accepted, I will also update the Wiki:
> http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LuceneIndexTransformer
