Impact DescriptionReference to documented impact
Text Matching Algorithm Changes. Support for a wide ranging text matching capability creates potential for heavy maintenance. We have attempted to characterize the similarities between some term matching implementations with an eye towards exclusion or combination. This exclusion and combination only affects end users if we remove labels as algorithm switches. Not specifically impact documentation but a background document: LexEVS Text Match Algorithm Audit
Index Index File System Changes. Index files will exist per coding scheme. This creates the opportunity for unmerged terminology indexes that should improve maintenance efficiency through quicker load times and the ability to identify and remove broken indexes without having to reindex the entire service. This will change the appearance of the file system but should not cause any issues for end users. The API will remain the same.

LexEVS Multi-index Lucene Implementation

Faster Query Performance on at Least Some Queries. The goal is to at least make queries no slower than current queries. The use of Block Join Queries has a reputation for being faster. This implementation has some opportunity to provide small indexes if we can properly capitalize during implementation.
