Thanks for your answer, I did not know about FieldCache. However, I think I cannot use it to solve my problem because, as I said in my previous post, a lot of my "facets" are not related to a "value" on a single field, but can be configured by the user by writing a complex boolean query. And this is also the reason why I think I cannot use Solr to implement this kind of faceted search. > To avoid creating a lot of objects and quickly throwing them away, you can > adjust Eden memory size, or you can create a bunch of objects and try to > re-use them. > Our Eden memory size is already very big, but it is not sufficient and, in any case, this solution would not be very scalable. I was also thinking about creating a "pool" of OpenBitSet to reuse, but before to implement this I thought to look if there were already a better solution I was not aware of. Thanks, Raf > >
