> The org.apache.lucene.spatial.util.ShapeFieldCache* classes together implement a spatial field cache for points, similar to FieldCache for other fields. It supports a variable number of points per document, and it's currently only used by the SpatialPrefixTree strategy because that's the only strategy that supports a variable number of points per document. The other spatial strategies use the FieldCache. The ShapeFieldCache has problems:
> * It's a memory pig. Each point is stored as a Point object, instead of an array of x & y coordinates. Furthermore, each Point is in an ArrayList that exists for each Document. It's not done any differently when your spatial data isn't multi-valued.
> * The cache is not per-segment, it's per-IndexReader, thereby making it un-friendly to NRT search.
> * The cache entries don't self-expire optimally to free up memory. The cache is simply stored in a WeakHashMap<IndexReader,ShapeFieldCache>. The big cache entries are only freed when the WeakHashMap is used and the JVM realizes the IndexSearcher instance has been GC'ed.
