> While looking at SOLR-9166 I noticed that SortingResponseWriter does a toString for each field it writes out. At a _very_ preliminary examination it seems like we create a lot of String objects that need to be GC'd. Could we reduce this by using some kind of CharsRef/ByteBuffer/Whatever?
> I've only looked at this briefly, not quite sure what the gotchas are but throwing it out for discussion.
> Some initial thoughts:
> 1> for the fixed types (numerics, dates, booleans) there's a strict upper limit on the size of each value so we can allocate something up-front.
> 2> for string fields, we already get a chars ref so just pass that through?
> 3> must make sure that whatever does the actual writing transfers all the bytes before returning.
> I'm sure I won't get to this for a week or perhaps more, so grab it if you have the bandwidth.
