Thanks for the reply I will trie to make a merge of both suggestions :)

Digy's patch will address the memory leakage in the field cache, but even 
though the garbage collector will now free the memory associated with the sort 
values, you may still end up with memory issues due to how the .NET runtime 
manages memory.

For example, if you have an index with 250,000 items in it and perform queries on it 
using a sort based integer value on one of the fields.  The field cache will create an 
array of 250,000 integers to provide for fast access to the sort values.  As the array 
is a large object (> 85,000 bytes) it will be allocated on the large object heap 
(LOH).  While during a garbage collection memory is freed from the LOH, the LOH is not 
compacted like generations 0, 1, & 2.  If your application swaps over indexes 
without restarting, such as in a Windows Service, the LOH could become fragmented over 
time.  This fragmentation can lead to an OutOfMemoryException as the runtime is not 
able to allocate a contiguous chunk of memory for the array.

There is a good MSDN article on the LOH and how to use windbg to peek at what's 
in the managed heap: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc534993.aspx

Yes, there is a MemoryLeakage-bug while searching+sorting in versions 2.1 &
2.3.1 and as far as I can reproduce the bug, I prepared two patches
("WeakHashTable+FieldCacheImpl.rar" for v2.1 and "Paches for v2.3.1.rar" for
v2.3.1 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-106) ).

Although there are still many complains about this issue, there isn't(or I
don't have) any test case to track it down.

DIGY.

Hello,

I'm with a problem with memory when I use a Sort. Can anyone help me with this?
I sow a lot of people posting about this, but I didn't sow any answers.

Thank you.
