Ning Li commented on LUCENE-1035:
---------------------------------

> That seems like quite a few docs to retrieve--any particular reason why?

I was guessing most applications won't want all 590K results, no? Lucene is 
used in so many different ways. No represent-all use case.

> I echo Hoss' comment--proximity searching is important even if it isn't used 
> much directly by users.

Hmm, I agree with you and Hoss, especially in applications where proximity is 
used to rank results of OR queries.

> Index in RAMDirectory provides better performance over that in FSDirectory.
> But many indexes cannot fit in memory or applications cannot afford to
> spend that much memory on index. On the other hand, because of locality,
> a reasonably sized buffer pool may provide good improvement over FSDirectory.
> This issue aims at providing such an optional buffer pool layer. In cases
> where it fits, i.e. a reasonable hit ratio can be achieved, it should provide
> a good improvement over FSDirectory.
