Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-9148:
--------------------------------------------
{quote}So I started working on splitting it into multiple files.
{quote}
Do you mean one file per field?
Or two files (data file, index file) per segment, so all BKD fields in that
segment still need just the two files?
> Move the BKD index to its own file.

> Lucene60PointsWriter stores both inner nodes and leaf nodes in the same file,
> interleaved. For instance if you have two fields, you would have
> {{<leaf_nodes_A, inner_nodes_A, leaf_nodes_B, inner_nodes_B>}}. It's not
> ideal since leaves and inner nodes have quite different access patterns.
> Should we split this into two files? In the case when the BKD index is
> off-heap, this would also help force it into RAM with
> {{MMapDirectory#setPreload}}.
> Note that Lucene60PointsFormat already has a file that it calls "index" but
> it's really only about mapping fields to file pointers in the other file and
> not what I'm discussing here. But we could possibly store the BKD indices in
> this existing file if we want to avoid creating a new one.
