Overview of this book

This book is for software developers who are new to Lucene and who want to explore the more advanced topics to build a search engine. Knowledge of Java is necessary to follow the code samples. You will learn core concepts, best practices, and also advanced features, in order to build an effective search application.

Un-inverting single-valued fields in memory with FieldCache


We have learned very early on that Lucene stores data in an inverted index in which terms are sorted and DocId is associated with each term. A search is essentially finding DocId's intersection in matched terms. The index itself allows for a very fast term lookup, but it's not ideal for lookup by DocId. To solve the problem of finding a field value by DocId, Lucene introduced FieldCache. FieldCache is an in-memory data structure that stored in an array format in which the value position corresponds to DocId (since DocId is basically an ordinal value of all documents). Because each array position can only store one value, FieldCache should be used on single-valued fields only. In essence, Lucene uninverts data from the index and stores them in FieldCache.

Note

Note that when FieldCache is initialized, it stays static and it does not synchronize with IndexReader. If you need to reopen IndexReader, FieldCache will need to be reinitialized...
