Maybe the complexity caused by reuse in this case (a pool of Field instances) may not be offset by the performance gains of avoiding GC? You could code up a quick test and see what performance gains it gives you?

Reuse works very well when your documents are extremely regular.

Hello all!
I have a document structure such that each document can have multiple and
variable number of fields of a given name. For example:
- Document-1 has two fields with the name "fld1" and three fields with the
name "fld2";
- Document-2 has five fields with the name "fld1" and one field with the
name "fld2".

If a document has a fixed number of fields then it's easy to reuse the
field instances by setting them to different values before writing the doc, but I can't think of any way in which I can reuse the document or field instances in this case (where the number of fields varies from document to document). One possibility is to maintain a pool of fields, create a new instance for each document and add the already-existing fields to the new
doc after setting them to an appropriate value. But this would require
significant additions to the code.

Has anyone else faced such a situation? I'd be glad if someone could give
any pointers for this situation! Thanks in anticipation!
