[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-10602) Dynamic Index Cache Sizing

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10602?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17551337#comment-17551337 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-10602:
--------------------------------------

I'm confused about "give GBs of heap back" when the default cache impl is bounded to 32MB at most?

> Working with Lucene's filter cache, it has become apparent that it can be an enormous drain on the heap and therefore the JVM. After extensive usage of an index, it is not uncommon to tune performance by shrinking or altogether removing the filter cache.
> Lucene tracks hit/miss stats of the filter cache, but it does nothing with the data other than inform an interested user about the effectiveness of their index's caching.
> It would be interesting if Lucene would be able to tune the index filter cache heuristically based on actual usage (age, frequency, and value).
> This could ultimately be used to give GBs of heap back to an individual Lucene instance instead of burning it on cache storage that's not effectively used (or useful).
