#Apache #Lucene will soon have a faster and smaller terms index!
This is a complex part of Lucene, and a major hotspot for terms heavy use cases like (primary) key/value store (~34% speedup, but results are preliminary!).
Lucene's pluggable Codec API makes experimentation like this possible.

I am extremely impressed with @TPLINK Deco mesh routers. Most especially the UI administration and UX generally. It’s maybe perfect. My past experiences with Netgear and Linksys were pathetic by comparison.
