Possible Memory Leak in StoredFieldsWriter
------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2283
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
            Reporter: Tim Smith


StoredFieldsWriter creates a pool of PerDoc instances

this pool will grow but never be reclaimed by any mechanism

furthermore, each PerDoc instance contains a RAMFile.
this RAMFile will also never be truncated (and will only ever grow) (as far as 
i can tell)

When feeding documents with large number of stored fields (or one large 
dominating stored field) this can result in memory being consumed in the 
RAMFile but never reclaimed. Eventually, each pooled PerDoc could grow very 
large, even if large documents are rare.

Seems like there should be some attempt to reclaim memory from the PerDoc[] 
instance pool (or otherwise limit the size of RAMFiles that are cached) etc
