Fuad Efendi commented on LUCENE-1990: ------------------------------------- Suttiwat sent me a link: http://blog.juma.me.uk/2008/10/14/32-bit-or-64-bit-jvm-how-about-a-hybrid/ This is vendor-specific, and possibly may cause unexpected problems, but we can try in some specific cases: "Compressed Oops have been included (but disabled by default) in the performance release JDK6u6p (requires you to fill a survey), so I decided to try it in an internal application and compare it with 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode." -XX:+UseCompressedOops There are other vendors around too such as Oracle JRockit which is much faster server-side... > Add unsigned packed int impls in oal.util > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1990 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1990 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > > There are various places in Lucene that could take advantage of an > efficient packed unsigned int/long impl. EG the terms dict index in > the standard codec in LUCENE-1458 could subsantially reduce it's RAM > usage. FieldCache.StringIndex could as well.
