Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-1990: ----------------------------------------- bq. One big problem with the unit-test is that it requires 2^30*4/8 bytes = 512MB of heap. I am guessing that this makes it impossible to run in the standard test-suite. Seems to be a bit high for a unittest but you can't help it, right? :) bq. I am unsure as to how I should push this fix through. Should I create a new JIRA issue? Make a patch against trunk? Or maybe a committer could just try the test above and insert the fix in trunk? I would suggest to create a new issue and attach a patch with the fix including your unittest. Since the unittest might break hudson etc I would recommend to add an @Ignore on top of it (JUnit 4) until we decided how to include tests like that. Maybe we might introduce a special flag that enables tests like that with a JUnit Assume call but that needs to be further discussed. > Add unsigned packed int impls in oal.util > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1990 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1990 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: Flex Branch > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: generated_performance-te20100226.txt, > LUCENE-1990-te20100122.patch, LUCENE-1990-te20100210.patch, > LUCENE-1990-te20100212.patch, LUCENE-1990-te20100223.patch, > LUCENE-1990-te20100226.patch, LUCENE-1990-te20100226b.patch, > LUCENE-1990-te20100226c.patch, LUCENE-1990-te20100301.patch, > LUCENE-1990.patch, LUCENE-1990.patch, LUCENE-1990.patch, > LUCENE-1990_PerformanceMeasurements20100104.zip, perf-mkm-20100227.txt, > performance-20100301.txt, performance-te20100226.txt > > > There are various places in Lucene that could take advantage of an > efficient packed unsigned int/long impl.
