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
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
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.
