Mike,
For now I'm using just a SpanQuery over a ~600MB index segment
single-threadedly (one segment - one thread, the complete setup is 30 segments
with the total of 20GB).
I'm trying to use Lucene for the morphologically annotated text corpus (namely,
Russian National Corpus).
The main query type in it is co-occurrence search with desired word
morphological features and distance between tokens.
In my test case I work with a single field - grammar (it is word-level - every
word in the corpus has one). Full grammar annotation of a word is a set of
atomic grammar features.
For an example, the verb "book" has in its grammar:
- POS tag (V);
- time (pres);
and the noun "book":
- POS tag (N)
- number (sg).
In general one grammar annotation has approximately 8 atomic features.
Words are treated as initially ambiguous, so that for the word "book"
occurrence in the text we get grammar tokens:
V pres N sg
2 parses: "V,pres" and "N,sg" are just independent tokens with
positionIncrement=0 in the index.
Moreover, each such token has parse bitmask in its payload:
V|0001 pres|0001 N|0010 sg|0010
Here, V and pres appeared in the 1st parse; N and sg in the 2nd with the
maximum of 4 parse variants. It allows me to find the word "book" for the query
"V" & "pres" but not for the query "V" & "sg".
So, I'm performing a SpanNearQuery "{"A,sg" that goes right before "N,sg"} with
position and payload checking over a 600MB segment and getting the precise doc
hits number and overall matches number via iterating over getSpans().
This takes me about 20 seconds, even if everything is in RAM.
The next thing I'm going to explore is compression, I'll try
DirectPostingsFormat as you suggested.

Igor
