[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-6365) Optimized iteration of finite strings

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6365?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14482044#comment-14482044 ] 

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6365:
--------------------------------------------

I like this change overall ... it means you can iterate over many more finite strings if you want.  I think a dedicated iterator is OK; just mark it @lucene.experimental so we are free to improve it later.

bq. Iteration order changed, so when iterating with a limit, the result may differ slightly. 

I think that's fine and it's an impl detail (which strings you'll get when you hit the limit) ... can you update the javadocs to say so?

>    Affects Versions: 5.0
>            Reporter: Markus Heiden
>            Priority: Minor

> Replaced Operations.getFiniteStrings() by an optimized FiniteStringIterator.
> Benefits:
> Avoid huge hash set of finite strings.
> Avoid massive object/array creation during processing.
> "Downside":
> Iteration order changed, so when iterating with a limit, the result may differ slightly. Old: emit current node, if accept / recurse. New: recurse / emit current node, if accept.
> The old method Operations.getFiniteStrings() still exists, because it eases the tests. It is now implemented by use of the new FiniteStringIterator.
