We have had far larger numbers than that. The only thing to watch out for is norms, which take up a byte per document regardless of the number of documents containing the field. You can omit norms if you don't need length normalization or index-time boosting. OG: Yonik, wasn't the saving 1 byte * # of indexed fields * # of docs? Otis

Right, I was talking per indexed field, since omitting norms can be controlled per-field. -Yonik
