Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-2380:
--------------------------------------

bq. What do the numbers mean?

Time to do the faceting (roughly).  FieldCache build time is not included.  
Given that the degradation is much worse for a higher number of unique values, 
this points to the increased cost of going from ord->value.

> Add FieldCache.getTermBytes, to load term data as byte[]

> With flex, a term is now an opaque byte[] (typically, utf8 encoded unicode 
> string, but not necessarily), so we need to push this up the search stack.
> FieldCache now has getStrings and getStringIndex; we need corresponding 
> methods to load terms as native byte[], since in general they may not be 
> representable as String.  This should be quite a bit more RAM efficient too, 
> for US ascii content since each character would then use 1 byte not 2.
