It seems that for a huge index, it might be a good idea to use a different implementation of the BitSet when doing filtering (assuming the non-filtered set is relatively small). This would really help minimize the memory required for each filter operation.
Since the default implementation of BitSet allocates enough memory for each position in the set, it seems overkill for a set that has a small number of "on" values. Any thoughts? Tony Schwartz by the way, I just started using Lucene about 2 weeks ago, and I am really loving it. The sky's the limit for this framework. Thanks very much to those of you involved in it's development.
