Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7774:
--------------------------------------

We were able to achieve significant gains by switching to radix sort 
(LUCENE-7306, see annotation O at 
http://people.apache.org/~mikemccand/geobench.html#index-times) for the 
in-memory part. Maybe we should explore doing something similar for offline 
sorting?

> BKDWriter has a 16Mb internal buffer it uses for sorting points, which then 
> spills over to on-disk sorting if there are too many values.  The difference 
> in performance between in-buffer and on-disk sorting is pretty stark, and it 
> would be nice to make this buffer size configurable so that users can choose 
> to use more RAM during indexing to speed things up.
