Yes, but I doubt you'll find much interest in fixing an old Lucene version like 
the one you're using, on a JVM that is no longer supported... 

This also leaves the question of why you need a million fields... this seems 
like a very niche application (and would be interesting if you could share the 
scenario of what you're doing with those fields).

> No way to limit the fields cached in memory and leads to OOM when there are 
> thousand of fields (thousands)

> I am opening this defect to get some guidance on how to handle a case of 
> server running out of memory and it seems like it's something to do how we 
> index. But want to know if there is anyway to reduce the impact of this on 
> memory usage before we look into the way of reducing the number of fields. 
> Basically we have many thousands of fields being indexed and it's causing a 
> large amount of memory being used (25GB) and eventually leading to 
> application to hang and force us to restart every few minutes.
