I won't have any time to take this any time soon :) So if anyone has the itch,
jump!
> Reduce transient RAM usage while merging by using packed ints array for docID
> re-mapping
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2357
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> We allocate this int[] to remap docIDs due to compaction of deleted ones.
> This uses alot of RAM for large segment merges, and can fail to allocate due
> to fragmentation on 32 bit JREs.
> Now that we have packed ints, a simple fix would be to use a packed int
> array... and maybe instead of storing abs docID in the mapping, we could
> store the number of del docs seen so far (so the remap would do a lookup then
> a subtract). This may add some CPU cost to merging but should bring down
> transient RAM usage quite a bit.
