Reduce transient RAM usage while merging by using packed ints array for docID 
re-mapping
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2357
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2357
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.1


We allocate this int[] to remap docIDs due to compaction of deleted ones.

This uses alot of RAM for large segment merges, and can fail to allocate due to 
fragmentation on 32 bit JREs.

Now that we have packed ints, a simple fix would be to use a packed int 
array... and maybe instead of storing abs docID in the mapping, we could store 
the number of del docs seen so far (so the remap would do a lookup then a 
subtract).  This may add some CPU cost to merging but should bring down 
transient RAM usage quite a bit.
