------------------------------------
I looked at the patch, and I find that I don't understand anything that I'm
looking at, except that the bigger newer patch looks like it might be a
*reverse* patch that removes all the new changes.
An orthogonal idea: One thing I've wondered about is whether filter results
might sometimes benefit from one of the most simple compression techniques
there is -- run-length encoding. There are obviously some cases where it would
really suck, such as a filter where every other Lucene document matches, but I
suspect that in many circumstances it would produce something much smaller than
a simple bitset. On the time series data that was mentioned in the
description, a timestamp filter would probably benefit greatly.

> In some use cases, particularly use cases with time series data, using
> collection alias and partitioning data into multiple small collections using
> timestamp, a filter query can match all documents in a collection. Currently
> BitDocSet is used which contains a large array of long integers with every
> bits set to 1. After querying, the resulted DocSet saved in filter cache is
> large and becomes one of the main memory consumers in these use cases.
> For example. suppose a Solr setup has 14 collections for data in last 14
> days, each collection with one day of data. A filter query for last one week
> data would result in at least six DocSet in filter cache which matches all
> documents in six collections respectively.
> This is to design a new DocSet that is memory efficient for such a use case.
> The new DocSet removes the large array, reduces memory usage and GC pressure
> without losing advantage of large filter cache.
> In particular, for use cases when using time series data, collection alias
> and partition data into multiple small collections using timestamp, the gain
> can be large.
> For further optimization, it may be helpful to design a DocSet with run
> length encoding. Thanks [~mmokhtar] for suggestion.
