Alex Vigdor commented on LUCENE-831:
------------------------------------

To be honest, the cache never successfully refilled before the patch - or at 
least I gave up after waiting 10 minutes.  I was about to give up on sorting.  
It could have to do with the fact that we're running with a relatively modest 
amount of RAM (768M) given our index size. But with the patch at least sorting 
is a realistic option!

I will look at adding the warming to my own code as you suggest; it is another 
peculiarity of this project that I can't know in the code what fields will be 
used for sorting, but I'll just track the searches coming through and aggregate 
any sorts they perform into a warming query.

> Motivation:
> 1) Complete overhaul the API/implementation of "FieldCache" type things...
>     a) eliminate global static map keyed on IndexReader (thus
>         eliminating synch block between completley independent IndexReaders)
>     b) allow more customization of cache management (ie: use 
>         expiration/replacement strategies, disk backed caches, etc)
>     c) allow people to define custom cache data logic (ie: custom
>         parsers, complex datatypes, etc... anything tied to a reader)
>     d) allow people to inspect what's in a cache (list of CacheKeys) for
>         an IndexReader so a new IndexReader can be likewise warmed. 
>     e) Lend support for smarter cache management if/when
>         IndexReader.reopen is added (merging of cached data from subReaders).
> 2) Provide backwards compatibility to support existing FieldCache API with
>     the new implementation, so there is no redundent caching as client code
>     migrades to new API.
