[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-2632) FilteringCodec, TeeCodec,
TeeDirectory
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrzej Bialecki updated LUCENE-2632:
--------------------------------------
Description:
This issue adds two new Codec implementations:
* TeeCodec: there have been attempts in the past to implement parallel writing to multiple indexes so that they are all synchronized. This was however complicated due to the complexity of IndexWriter/SegmentMerger logic. The solution presented here offers a similar functionality but working on a different level - as the name suggests, the TeeCodec duplicates index data into multiple output Directories.
* TeeDirectory (used also in TeeCodec) is a simple abstraction to perform Directory operations on several directories in parallel (effectively mirroring their data). Optionally it's possible to specify a set of suffixes of files that should be mirrored so that non-matching files are skipped.
* FilteringCodec is related in a remote way to the ideas of index pruning presented in LUCENE-1812 and the concept of tiered search. Since we can use TeeCodec to write to multiple output Directories in a synchronized way, we could also filter out or modify some of the data that is being written. The FilteringCodec provides this functionality, so that you can use like this:
{code}
IndexWriter --> TeeCodec
| |
| +--> StandardCodec --> Directory1
+--> FilteringCodec --> StandardCodec --> Directory2
{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.

This was however complicated due to the complexity of IndexWriter/SegmentMerger logic. The solution presented here offers a similar functionality but working on a different level - as the name suggests, the TeeSinkCodec duplicates term data into multiple output Directories, and provides a multi-directory abstraction to perform other operations that are not yet handled by the Codec API (e.g. stored fields handling).

Summary: FilteringCodec, TeeCodec, TeeDirectory (was: TeeSinkCodec and FilteringCodec)
Patch updated to the latest trunk.
A few notes:
* FilteringCodec tests pass
* TeeDirectory tests pass
* TeeCodec tests pass only partially, failures occur during merge operations.
