Hi, I've been looking into the FieldCache API because of memory problems we've been seeing in our production environment.
We use various different sorts so over time the cache builds up and servers stop responding. I decided to apply the patch for JIRA 831: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-831 so that I can switch out the caching to an LRU based cache. One thing I noticed in the code is that there is an array cache built per IndexReader. I'm wondering what the consequences would be if the arrays were merged for all IndexReaders. That would result in single cached array for Strings, Floats, Ints, etc. It looks like the arrays are used by the various comparators during the sort but wasn't exactly sure so thought I'd ask what would happen if I combined the arrays. Thanks, Todd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
