+/**
+ * This class efficiently buffers numeric and binary field updates and
stores
+ * terms, values and metadata in a memory efficient way without creating
large amounts
+ * of objects. Update terms are stored without de-duplicating the update
term.
+ * In general we try to optimize for several use-cases. For instance we
try to use constant
+ * space for update terms field since the common case always updates on
the same field. Also for docUpTo
+ * we try to optimize for the case when updates should be applied to all
docs ie. docUpTo=Integer.MAX_VALUE.
+ * In other cases each update will likely have a different docUpTo.
+ * Along the same lines this impl optimizes the case when all updates have
a value. Lastly, the soft_deletes case

The last sentence about "soft_deletes" reads too cumbersome to me. Can we
just say "Lastly, if all updates share the same value for a field, the value is
stored only once."? Or something along this.
