Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-504:
------------------------------------

Yes this is correct - e.g. on a win32 machine with 2GB RAM, SUN 1.5 JRE would 
accept up to Xmx1470m and in that case you could set the limit on the queue  
size to 355,638,512 - 17% of maxint, before getting an out of mem error.  

For allowing the caller maximal flexibility (and responsibility), BooleanQuery 
could interpret the maxint as a hint saying "maximal possible value" and then 
silently modify it to maxint-1, thereby avoiding the negative array size issue 
in PriorityQueue (and possibly fail later with out of memory).

Is this what you have in mind?

> FuzzyQuery produces a "java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException" in 
> PriorityQueue.initialize if I use Integer.MAX_VALUE as 
> BooleanQuery.MaxClauseCount

> PriorityQueue creates an "java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException" when 
> initialized with Integer.MAX_VALUE, because Integer overflows. I think this 
> could be a general problem with PriorityQueue. The Error occured when I set 
> BooleanQuery.MaxClauseCount to Integer.MAX_VALUE and user a FuzzyQuery for 
> searching.
