David Smiley commented on LUCENE-7834:
--------------------------------------

bq. But then you pay the price at query time since the FST needs to be loaded 
as part of query execution. This doesn't sound like a better default to me, it 
is just moving the problem?

It's ultimately a trade-off that the user can be in control of through the 
amount of warming they do.  I don't view this as "moving the problem"; perhaps 
we aren't thinking of "the problem" as the same thing. The "problem" I'm trying 
to solve is to save memory/latency _that sometimes won't even be needed at all_.

> BlockTree's terms index should be loaded into memory lazily

> I propose that BlockTree delay loading the FST prefix terms index into memory 
> until {{terms(String)}} is first called.  This seems like how it should work 
> since if someone wants to eager load then they can use {{IndexReaderWarmer}}. 
>  By making the FST lazy load, we can be more NRT friendly (if some fields are 
> rarely used), and also save memory (if some fields are rarely used).
