[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-3218) Make CFS appendable

["Robert Muir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13086896#comment-13086896 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3218:
-------------------------------------

Can CFS reading/writing not take a parent directory, instead of:

CompoundFileDirectory(Directory parent, ....)

I think it should be
CompoundFileDirectory(IndexInput cfs, IndexInput cfe)

And directory.createOutput etc should take *both* filenames, this would remove this backdooring completely.

> Currently CFS is created once all files are written during a flush / merge. Once on disk the files are copied into the CFS format which is basically a unnecessary for some of the files. We can at any time write at least one file directly into the CFS which can save a reasonable amount of IO. For instance stored fields could be written directly during indexing and during a Codec Flush one of the written files can be appended directly. This optimization is a nice sideeffect for lucene indexing itself but more important for DocValues and LUCENE-3216 we could transparently pack per field files into a single file only for docvalues without changing any code once LUCENE-3216 is resolved.
