Well, this solution was working fine for a long time, but now we have
some users crying about the additional memory usage.
We're using this sort field:
private static final SortedNumericSortField ID_SORT_FIELD =
new SortedNumericSortField(LuceneFields.ID.getName(),
SortField.Type.LONG);
Since the field isn't sorted anything I think I can now change it to just:
private static final SortField ID_SORT_FIELD =
new SortField(LuceneFields.ID.getName(), SortField.Type.LONG);
Either way it ends up creating a LongComparator, though, which seems
to be what is being complained about. The memory usage of
LongComparator seems totally fine to me and it's using what seems to
be the minimum storage for what it's doing, so it's not like it can be
improved, but maybe there is a way to make a comparator that doesn't
have to store a copy of the data in memory?
