The DumpXXX() methods were always documented as internal and
unsupported. However, now they are being removed from the
public top-level API. They are still available on the internal
IndexReader, which can be accessed using the Advanced() method.
The DocCount() and DumpXXX() methods on the internal index
have moved to the internal index reader, since they logically
operate on a snapshot of an index.
our implementation uses: golang.org/x/net/context
New method SearchInContext() allows the user to run a search
in the provided context. If that context is cancelled or
exceeds its deadline Bleve will attempt to stop and return
as soon as possible. This is a *best effort* attempt at this
time and may *not* be in a timely manner. If the caller must
return very near the timeout, the call should also be wrapped
in a goroutine.
The IndexAlias implementation is affected in a slightly more
complex way. In order to return partial results when a timeout
occurs on some indexes, the timeout is strictly enforced, and
at the moment this does introduce an additional goroutine.
The Bleve implementation honoring the context is currently
very course-grained. Specifically we check the Done() channel
between each DocumentMatch produced during the search. In the
future we will propogate the context deeper into the internals
of Bleve, and this will allow finer-grained timeout behavior.
This is not the final word on this but it would have helped me a lot
starting with bleve. I left out details about value processing and
custom parsers. I also ignored that named FieldMapping can directly
resolve value fields without having a parent SubDocumentMapping because
it did not appear in any example I read.
Let's consider this as a starting point for documentation improvements.
this lays the foundation for supporting the new firestorm
indexing scheme. i'm merging these changes ahead of
the rest of the firestorm branch so i can continue
to make changes to the analysis pipeline in parallel
in some limited cases we can detect unsafe usage
in these cases, do not trip over ourselves and panic
instead return a strongly typed error upside_down.UnsafeBatchUseDetected
also, introduced Batch.Reset() to allow batch reuse
this is currently still experimental
closes#195
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
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
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
