这需要很长时间……我如何加快这本词典的速度？ （Python）

Question

    meta_map = {}
    results = db.meta.find({'corpus_id':id, 'method':method}) #this Mongo query only takes 3ms
    print results.explain()
    #result is mongo queryset of 2000 documents

    count = 0
    for r in results:
        count += 1
        print count
        word = r.get('word')
        data = r.get('data',{})
        if not meta_map.has_key(word):
            meta_map[word] = data
    return meta_map

This is super, super slow for some reason.

There are a total of 2000 results. Below is an example of a result document (from Mongo). All other results are similar in length.

The whole process takings about 15 seconds ...what the hell? How can I speed it up? :)

Edit: I realize that when I print the count in console, it goes from 0 to 101 very fast, and then freezes for 10 seconds, and then continues from 102 to 2000

could this be a MongoDB problem?

Edit 2: I printed the Mongo EXPLAIN() of the query below:

{u'allPlans': [{u'cursor': u'BtreeCursor corpus_id_1_method_1_word_1',
                u'indexBounds': {u'corpus_id': [[u'iphone', u'iphone']],

Answer 1

Instead of

if not meta_map.has_key(word):

you should use

if word not in meta_map:

There is no point in doing data = r.get('data',{}) if you are not going to use it.

It's not obvious why you are doing word = r.get('word') ... if 'word' always exists in r , you should just use word = r['word'] ; otherwise you should test whether word is None after the get.

Likewise the data get.

Try this:

for r in results:
    word = r['word']
    if word not in meta_map:
         meta_map[word] = r['data']

In any case the time you quoted is enormous... there must be something else going on there. I would be very interested to see your code for doing the timing and counting the number of entries in results .

Answer 2

Your query is returning almost all the documents in your collection (which may or may not be correct in this case; good database advice is always to transmit as few documents/rows as possible from the server to your application), and your collection is about 3 megabytes in size. It's possible that the delay you are seeing is simply due to the network transmission time.

Answer 3

If your problem really is the dictionary, maybe using setdefault() instead of first looking the key up and then setting it can help.
