Thanks for the reply. Since writing this I have in fact now

this reason we can not use such a solution. Can you tell me what solr
is as it seems to be more suited to my application?
Millions of records is fine. The main breaking point of the BitSet-
in-Map scheme is can you cache all the BitSets for the unique facet
terms (album/artist). And don't despair yet... if you want to dabble
with Solr's DocSet infrastructure instead of BitSets you can reduce
your memory consumption dramatically I'm sure - without having to
convert to using Solr as a web service.
