------------------------------------------------------------

[~dsmiley] SolrDocument is an expensive data structure. Yes, we may need a more 
efficient data structure to actually accomplish this. HashMaps are extremely 
memory inefficient.
Skipping transformation is something we can't do now without backward 
incompatibility. We can probably rewrite Transformers like ChildDocTransformer 
to adapt to the new format. We may need to create the SolrDocument objects 
where other transformers are used. But most requests never use any 
transformers. They are paying a huge price

One problem we have in Solr is we never explore new Data structures suitable 
for our needs. We just keep using List, Map, Namedlist irrespective of how many 
objects we create .We don't ever differentiate between a usecase where 10 maps 
are created Vs. 10 million Maps are created. We never stop to think how this 
all adds up. Lucene keeps thinking about this all the time and it shows . 
Lucene is extremely memory efficient while Solr is not
