this introduces disk format v4
now the summary rows for a term are stored in their own
"dictionary row" format, previously the same information
was stored in special term frequency rows
this now allows us to easily iterate all the terms for a field
in sorted order (useful for many other fuzzy data structures)
at the top-level of bleve you can now browse terms within a field
using the following api on the Index interface:
FieldDict(field string) (index.FieldDict, error)
FieldDictRange(field string, startTerm []byte, endTerm []byte) (index.FieldDict, error)
FieldDictPrefix(field string, termPrefix []byte) (index.FieldDict, error)
fixes#127
now created through the index itself
mapping problems reported early at the time
data is added to the batch, previously these
were not reported until the batch was executed
new method OpenUsing allows user to override values
in the persisted config
example would be opening the index, but using a different
buffer size for leveldb (not actually supported yet, but that
is the idea)
closes#138
now you can access the underlying index/store implementations
using the Advanced() method. this is intedned for advanced
usage only, and can lead to problems if misused.
also, there is a new method NewUsing(...) which allows callers
of the top-level API to choose which underlying k/v store they
want to use.
more things can return error now
in a couple of places we had to swallow errors because they didn't
fit the existing API. in these case and proactively in a few
others we now return error as well.
also the batch API has been updated to allow performing
set/delete internal within the batch
1. text analysis is now done before the write lock is acquired
2. there is now a pool of analysis workers
3. the size of this pool is configurable
4. this allows for documents in a batch to be analyzed concurrently
as a part of benchmarking these changes i've also introduce a new
null storage implementation. this should never be used, as it
does not actualy build an index. it does however let us go
through all the normal indexing machinery, without incuring
any indexing I/O. this is very helpful in measuring improvements
made to the text analsysis pipeline, which are often overshadowed
by indexing times in benchmarks actually building an index.
In the index/store package
introduce KVReader
creates snapshot
all read operations consistent from this snapshot
must close to release
introduce KVWriter
only one writer active
access to all operations
allows for consisten read-modify-write
must close to release
introduce AssociativeMerge operation on batch
allows efficient read-modify-write
for associative operations
used to consolidate updates to the term summary rows
saves 1 set and 1 get op per shared instance of term in field
In the index package
introduced an IndexReader
exposes a consisten snapshot of the index for searching
At top level
All searches now operate on a consisten snapshot of the index
this started initially to relocate highlighting into
a self contained package, which would then also use
the registry
however, it turned into a much larger refactor in
order to avoid cyclic imports
now facets, searchers, scorers and collectors
are also broken out into subpackages of search
New is now used to create new indexes
Open is used to open existing indexes
calls to Open no longer specify a mapping because the mapping
is serialized and stored along with the index
ultimately this is make it more convenient for us to wire up
different elements of the analysis pipeline, without having to
preload everything into memory before we need it
separately the index layer now has a mechanism for storing
internal key/value pairs. this is expected to be used to
store the mapping, and possibly other pieces of data by the
top layer, but not exposed to the user at the top.
this change was then exposed at the higher levels
also the beer-sample app was upgraded to index in batches of 100
by default. this yieled an indexing speed up from 27s to 16s.
closes#57
introduced concept of byte array converters
right now only wired up to top-level index mapping
allowing the removal of the JSON methods, now at the top level
we default to parsing []byte as JSON, override if thats not
the behavior you want.
future enhancements will allow use of these byte array converters
to control how byte arrays are handled elsewhere in documents
this would allow for handing binary attachments, etc in the future
closes#59
removed analyzers (these are now built as needed through config)
removed html chacter filter (now built as needed through config)
added missing license header
changed constructor signature of filters that cannot return errors
filter constructors that can have errors, now have Must variant which panics
change cdl2 tokenizer into filter (should only see lower-case input)
new top level index api, closes#5
refactored index tests to not rely directly on analyzers
moved query objects to top-level
new top level search api, closes#12
top score collector allows skipping results
index mapping supports _all by default, closes#3 and closes#6
index mapping supports disabled sections, closes#7
new http sub package with reusable http.Handler's, closes#22
