I've been pondering how to reduce the size of FieldCache entries when there are a large number of Strings. I'd like to facet on such a field with Solr but with less memory. As I understand it, FSTs are a highly compressed representation of a set of Strings (among other possibilities). The fieldCache would need to point to an FST entry (an "arc"?) using something small, say an integer. Is there a way to point to an FST entry with an integer, and then somehow with relative efficiency construct the String from the arcs to get there?
