Lucene/BJQ |
developers who are interested in fast (block) joins |
I wanted to implement transitive BlockJoinQuery in addition ToParent and ToChild. transitive means it collects both sides: parent and childrens. I need it for facet counting. But later I got and idea to implement flexible and power abstract_ BJQ, which will be specialized to transitive, ToParent and ToChild via supplying proper traversing strategy.+ + |

Solr/DIH |
DataImportHandler aware developers |
Design new approach for "threads", fwiw it was killed at 4.0. I propose to bring it back for fast data acquisition. On top of my head is keep join single thread, but handle update(doc) in many threads, and also pull data asynchronosly via resultset buffer. Of course N+1 scenario is not affordable. One of the key descision is rethinking EntityProcessor responsibilities. |
