Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5780:
-------------------------------------

I agree conceptually its a bug, but I think this should be 4.10. Its not 
anything introduced in 4.9, its been this way since 4.2

I already am pushing back on other issues such as SOLR-6178, because i ran 125 
rounds of tests last night and want to keep things stable.

> Robert found a case when the ordinal map can be quite wasteful in terms of 
> memory usage: in order to be able to resolve values given a global ordinals, 
> it stores two things:
>  - an identifier of the segment where the value is
>  - the difference between the ordinal on the segment and the global ordinal
> The issue is that OrdinalMap currently picks any of the segments that contain 
> the value but we can do better: we can pick the first segment that has the 
> value. This will help for two reasons:
>  - it will potentially require fewer bits per value to store the segment ids 
> if NRT segments don't introduce new values
>  - if all values happen to appear in the first segment, then the map from 
> global ords to deltas only stores zeros.
> I just tested on an index where all values are in the first segment and this 
> helped reduce memory usage of the ordinal map by 4x (from 3.5MB to 800KB).
