What is the problem with implementing the KinoSearch model for Lucene? It seems this would solve nearly all of these issues in a very srtaightfoward way.

It's a major undertaking, and the only developer sufficiently motivated thus far has been me. I have only so much time to dedicate to working on Java Lucene.

I also don't see how you do this without bytecount-based strings.

My general plan has been to force KS 0.20_01 out the door, then present it as a model. But Michael McCandless has been accelerating the discussions around here and so it seemed better to get a word in while the window was open. :)

It would seem that a very simple SortPool implementation that did everything in memory would be ideal for Lucene server based environments.

The external sorter keeps track of its memory consumption, and only flushes to disk when a user-settable threshold is exceeded. You can set the threshold high if you like.
