Bill Bell commented on LUCENE-4698:
-----------------------------------
This JIRA ticket is extremely important when using this ShapeFieldCache...
David is there a way to :
1. Use FieldCache when the field is defined as non multivalue?
2. Add option to turn it off?
> Overhaul ShapeFieldCache because its a memory pig

> The org.apache.lucene.spatial.util.ShapeFieldCache* classes together
> implement a spatial field cache for points, similar to FieldCache for other
> fields. It supports a variable number of points per document, and it's
> currently only used by the SpatialPrefixTree strategy because that's the only
> strategy that supports a variable number of points per document. The other
> spatial strategies use the FieldCache. The ShapeFieldCache has problems:
> * It's a memory pig. Each point is stored as a Point object, instead of an
> array of x & y coordinates. Furthermore, each Point is in an ArrayList that
> exists for each Document. It's not done any differently when your spatial
> data isn't multi-valued.
> * The cache is not per-segment, it's per-IndexReader, thereby making it
> un-friendly to NRT search.
> * The cache entries don't self-expire optimally to free up memory. The cache
> is simply stored in a WeakHashMap<IndexReader,ShapeFieldCache>. The big cache
> entries are only freed when the WeakHashMap is used and the JVM realizes the
> IndexSearcher instance has been GC'ed.
