Hello, I am currently working on getting a custom BreakIterator for the Unified Highlighter to work, and struggle a bit performance wise.
I need a BreakIterator for getting nice highlights of passages. For this I want the start of the highlight to be a sentence-start and the end to be a word-end. There are also some weird edge cases. I already coded the BreakIterator and integrated it to our custom UnifiedHighlighter class, but when I use this Iterator the qTime of all requests rise from ~1000 to 12000+ which is not acceptable for this application. Here is a link to my implementation. I can't really find where I am horrible inefficient.(I know that these functions get called very often) Any suggestions are welcome, also other approaches. So are there some nice resources to learn more about BreakIterators and stuff, since digging into the code is really hard here. Another approach I am considering next is to do this highlight "trimming", when the final highlights are found. This would reduce the amount of logic called, but I guess the scoring system of SOLR wouldn't be taken in to account the right way. As I said all suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.
