Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7774:
--------------------------------------------
bq. Maybe we should explore doing something similar for offline sorting?
+1
The {{Lucene60PointsWriter]} ctor already accepts {{maxMBSortInHeap}}, which it
passes onto {{BKDWriter}}, so users could make a custom codec changing this
setting themselves?
> Allow BKDWriter buffer sizes to be configurable

> 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.
