Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7258:
--------------------------------------
bq. Any thoughts on this one Adrien Grand?
Good question, I don't really know. :) I think Python uses 9/8 like ArrayUtil
and Java uses 1.5 and I heard arguments against growth factors of 2 as they
prevent freed memory from being reused since you [always need to allocate more
than what has been freed so
far|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1100311/what-is-the-ideal-growth-rate-for-a-dynamically-allocated-array/1100426#1100426],
but it's not clear to me how it applies to a managed runtime like Java. I
think the approach from SOLR-8922 is worth trying too.
> Tune DocIdSetBuilder allocation rate

> LUCENE-7211 converted IntersectsPrefixTreeQuery to use DocIdSetBuilder, but
> didn't actually reduce garbage generation for my Solr index.
> Since something like 40% of my garbage (by space) is now attributed to
> DocIdSetBuilder.growBuffer, I charted a few different allocation strategies
> to see if I could tune things more.
> See here: http://i.imgur.com/7sXLAYv.jpg
> The jump-then-flatline at the right would be where DocIdSetBuilder gives up
> and allocates a FixedBitSet for a 100M-doc index. (The 1M-doc index
> curve/cutoff looked similar)
> Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 1/8th growth factor in ArrayUtil.oversize is
> terrible from an allocation standpoint if you're doing a lot of expansions,
> and is especially terrible when used to build a short-lived data structure
> like this one.
> By the time it goes with the FBS, it's allocated around twice as much memory
> for the buffer as it would have needed for just the FBS.
