Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2422:
------------------------------------
Mike - this patch is against an old revision? I'm up to the latest and
IndexInput/Output don't include any field, just abstract methods. This seems to
be relevant to 3.0.1 (and before?) If so, where does this need to be fixed post
3.0.1?
> don't reuse byte[] in IndexInput/Output for read/writeString

> IndexInput now holds a private "byte[] bytes", which it re-uses for reading
> strings. Likewise, IndexOutput holds a UTF8Result (which holds "byte[]
> bytes"), re-used for writing strings.
> These are both dangerous, since on reading or writing immense strings, we
> never free this storage.
> We don't use read/writeString in very perf sensitive parts of the code, so, I
> think we should not reuse the byte[] at all.
> I think this is likely the cause of the recent "IndexWriter and memory usage"
> thread, started by Ross Woolf on java-u...@.
