Hi, The fix MarkM provided yesterday for the problem I reported encountering with the highlighter appears to be working--I installed the Lucene 2.9.1 rc4 artifacts.
Now I'm running into an oddity regarding performance. Our integration test is running slower than it used to. I've placed some average timings below. I'll try to describe what the test does in the hopes that someone will have some insight. The indexing time represents the time it takes to load and index/commit ~43 books. The test then does two sets of searches. A basic search is a dismax search across several fields including the text of the book. It searches either the exact title (in quotes) or the ISBN. Highlighting is enabled on the field that holds the text of the book. An advanced search uses a nested dismax (inside a normal Lucene), to search for either the exact title (in quotes) or the ISBN. The main difference is that the title is only matched against fields related to titles, not authors, text of the book, etc. Highlighting is enabled against the text of the book. The indexing time remained fairly constant. I ran with and without highlighting enabled, to see how much it was contributing. I am most interested in the jumps in time between 1.3 and 1.4 for the highlighting time. with highlighting enabled solr 1.3 Indexing: 40161ms Basic: 12407ms Advanced: 1106ms solr 1.4 rc Indexing: 41734ms Basic: 26346ms Advanced: 17067ms without any highlighting solr 1.3 Indexing: 41186ms Basic: 1024ms Advanced: 265ms solr 1.4 rc Indexing: 40981ms Basic: 883ms Advanced: 356ms FWIW, the integration test uses an embedded solr server. I supposed I should also ask if there are any general tips to speed up highlighting? Thanks, Jake
