Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4368:
---------------------------------------

Hi,

this is not possible, as the sentinel objects are reused and modified. While 
collecting the hits, all sentinel objects are reused and reinserted into the 
hit queue. If you return the same global singleton, this singleton would be 
modified all the time, changing all contents of the HitQueue. The default 
entries in the hit queue must be different instances.

The problem you are seing may be related to the fact that you are making your 
HitQueue too big, by passing a too large number of hits to be returned.

> Via jvisualvm, I see that one of my Lucene processes is spending a lot of 
> time in HitQueue.getSentinelObject. That's a very simple method that 
> currently looks like:
>   protected ScoreDoc getSentinelObject() {
>     return new ScoreDoc(Integer.MAX_VALUE, Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY);
>   }
> Since the same sentinel is always returned, perhaps the sentinel should be 
> declared as a static variable on HitQueue and then getSentinelObject() would 
> just return that static value?
