Hi, I'd like to commit LUCENE-843.
The patch has gone through a number of iterations but the final version that's there now (take9) is quite a bit cleaner & simpler than the ones leading up to it and I believe ready. It provides solid indexing performance gains (between 2X-8X), but, it is somewhat more complex than the current "single doc per segment" approach and it does introduce a change to the index format (only when autoCommit=false) whereby multiple segments can share a single set of term vector & stored fields files. Given that it's such a big change I think (?) it's appropriate to ask for a vote (only PMC member votes are binding) to make sure we have consensus that this is net/net a good change for Lucene.
