If you decide to cache stored field value in memory, FieldCache may be useful for this - so you don't have to implement your own cache - you can access the field values with something like: FieldCache fieldCache = FieldCache.DEFAULT; String db_id_field[] = fieldCache.getStrings(indexReader,"DB_ID_FIELD_NAME"); Those values are valid for the lifetime of the index-reader. Once a new index reader is opened, when GC collects the unused old index reader object, it would also be able to collect (from the cache) unused field values.
Thanks for the pointers Doron. I'll take a look at that. Antony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
