1. Payload per document which could be updated without a need to update the 
entire document. 
Usecase: The state of our indexed content will change based on the User action 
(Created/ Viewed/Deleted etc) and we are using Lucene as our database and we 
cannot use relational database only for this feature. 

2. Offload fieldcache to disk
   As every one knows sorting consumes huge memory, there is a need to offload 
it to disk using external caching mechanism. There is lot of discussion on 
sorting memory consumption in the group and this would be in everone's wishlist.

3. Custom fieldcache
Currently fieldcache is created  with number of documents available in the 
index. In our case we are using single index having multiple tables, and it is 
differentiated by the "Type" field. Only one type is required to sort and 
others is just stored data and not participating in the sort. This will 
certanily reduce the memory consumption. We cannot create one index for each 
table, which will be difficult to maintain.
