Hi guys:
I will let the author, Anmol Bhasin to respond with details.
In our use case, we are not making changes to the index because we do
not want to diverge from the lucene code base. (thought it'd be great if we
can enhance indexing structure with this) We load the docIdSets into memory
for caching reasons.
Thanks
-John
