Is there any empirical data on how much RAM that will need?
int[maxDoc()] + String[nTerms()] + size_of_all_unique_terms. Then double that to allow for a warming searcher. One can decrease this memory usage by using an "integer" instead of an "sint" field if you don't need range queries. The memory usage would then drop to a straight int[maxDoc()] (4 bytes per document). -Yonik
