Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6779:
-------------------------------------
Also i still think this doesn't really provide any benefits here to do this
buffering, as the output in question is just a byte array anyway (going to
compression). I don't think buffering to a separate byte[] really saves
anything when we are talking about a ByteArrayDataOutput, this is an entirely
different beast than the "FastOutputStream" used in the benchmark.
So because its already going to a byte[] I think its not so useful to stream it
this way for a huge document. For such a huge doc (10MB) case the current
scheme probably has a number of disadvantages both in that buffering and in the
underlying compression parameters anyway.
I think it would be good to do real indexing benchmarks to see if this really
helps your case. I suspect to improve it would really require other things, as
many aspects of the current codec may be suboptimal: not just flush, but merge
too.

> In SOLR-7927, I am trying to reduce the memory required to index very large
> documents (between 10 to 100MB) and one of the places which allocate a lot of
> heap is the UTF8 encoding in CompressingStoredFieldsWriter. The same problem
> existed in JavaBinCodec and we reduced its memory allocation by falling back
> to a double pass approach in SOLR-7971 when the utf8 size of the string is
> greater than 64KB.
> I propose to make the same changes to CompressingStoredFieldsWriter as we
> made to JavaBinCodec in SOLR-7971.
