-----------------------------------

Thanks Uwe for the pointer. Will check that out!

Robert, we can get away with 4 bytes per doc assuming we are not storing 2GB of 
data per doc. This memory would be less than the data structure needed to be 
held in memory for only 1 field cache entry for sort. I understand it is always 
better to use less memory, but sometimes we do have to make trade-off decisions.
But you are right, different applications have different needs/requirements, so 
having support for custom segments would be a good thing. e.g. LUCENE-1914

>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Store
>    Affects Versions: 3.0
>            Reporter: John Wang

> IndexReader.document() on a stored field is rather slow. Did a simple 
> multi-threaded test and profiled it:
> 40+% time is spent in getting the offset from the index file
> 30+% time is spent in reading the count (e.g. number of fields to load)
> Although I ran it on my lap top where the disk isn't that great, but still 
> seems to be much room in improvement, e.g. load field index file into memory 
> (for a 5M doc index, the extra memory footprint is 20MB, peanuts comparing to 
> other stuff being loaded)
> A related note, are there plans to have custom segments as part of flexible 
> indexing feature?
