------------------------------------------
Summary: ArrayUtil.grow should not pretend you can actually
allocate array[Integer.MAX_VALUE]
Key: LUCENE-5844
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5844
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core/other
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
Fix For: 5.0, 4.10
Today if the growth it wants would exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE, it returns
Integer.MAX_VALUE, but you can't actually allocate arrays this large; the
actual limit is JVM dependent and varies across JVMs ...
It would be nice if we could somehow "introspect" the JVM to find out what its
actual limit is and use that.

seems to imply that using Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8 may be "safe" (it's what
ArrayList.java apparently uses).
