Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2252:
-------------------------------------
bq. In modern machines (at least with the machines we are using, e.g. a macbook
pro)
its not really subjective, or based on modern machines. you are talking about
5M documents, some indexes have a lot more documents and 4bytes/doc in ram adds
up to a lot!
for the case of using lucene as a search engine library, this memory could be
better spent on other things.
I dont think this is subjective, because its a search engine library, not a
document store.
bq. Furthermore, with the question at hand, even if we do use Directory
implementation Uwe suggested, it is not optimal.
but it is easy, and takes away your disk seek. the "in-memory seek, read/parse"
is as you say, peanuts in comparison.

> Key: LUCENE-2252
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2252
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: John Wang
>
> IndexReader.document() on a stored field is rather slow. Did a simple
> multi-threaded test and profiled it:
> 40+% time is spent in getting the offset from the index file
> 30+% time is spent in reading the count (e.g. number of fields to load)
> Although I ran it on my lap top where the disk isn't that great, but still
> seems to be much room in improvement, e.g. load field index file into memory
> (for a 5M doc index, the extra memory footprint is 20MB, peanuts comparing to
> other stuff being loaded)
> A related note, are there plans to have custom segments as part of flexible
> indexing feature?
