Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2369:
-------------------------------------
bq. No tests with 100M documents yet, but 1½ hour for build and 1.5GB of RAM
would be the expected requirement.
Toke, have you tried doing this 'build' at index time instead? I would
recommend applying LUCENE-2551 and indexing with ICU Collation, strength=primary
Now that we can mostly do everything as bytes, I think this slow functionality
to do collation/range query at 'runtime' might soon be on its way out of lucene
(see patches on LUCENE-2514).
Instead, I think its better to encourage users to index their content
accordingly for the use cases they need.
> Locale-based sort by field with low memory overhead

> Key: LUCENE-2369
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2369
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Search
> Reporter: Toke Eskildsen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current implementation of locale-based sort in Lucene uses the FieldCache
> which keeps all sort terms in memory. Beside the huge memory overhead,
> searching requires comparison of terms with collator.compare every time,
> making searches with millions of hits fairly expensive.
> This proposed alternative implementation is to create a packed list of
> pre-sorted ordinals for the sort terms and a map from document-IDs to entries
> in the sorted ordinals list. This results in very low memory overhead and
> faster sorted searches, at the cost of increased startup-time. As the
> ordinals can be resolved to terms after the sorting has been performed, this
> approach supports fillFields=true.
> This issue is related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2335
