Aaron McCurry commented on LUCENE-2205:
---------------------------------------
Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you yet, life has a way of slowing down
development.
As for you comments from a couple of weeks ago. I agree with the PageBytes
comments, I knew there was going to be more work there. But I may not
understand how the GrowableWriter will help. I understand that it allows me to
append more values as I go, but when I start writing them I have no idea what
bit size to choose for the packing. Can you explain?
Also if you would like to finish this patch that would fine with me. Let me
know if you want me to continue or if you are going to work on it. Thanks!

> Basically packing those three arrays into a byte array with an int array as
> an index offset.
> The performance benefits are stagering on my test index (of size 6.2 GB, with
> ~1,000,000 documents and ~175,000,000 terms), the memory needed to load the
> terminfos into memory were reduced to 17% of there original size. From 291.5
> MB to 49.7 MB. The random access speed has been made better by 1-2%, load
> time of the segments are ~40% faster as well, and full GC's on my JVM were
> made 7 times faster.
> I have already performed the work and am offering this code as a patch.
> Currently all test in the trunk pass with this new code enabled. I did write
> a system property switch to allow for the original implementation to be used
> as well.
> -Dorg.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader=default or small
> I have also written a blog about this patch here is the link.
