Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-2380:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2380.patch

Very rough first cut patch attached.

I removed getStrings and replaced it with getTerms (returns a BytesRef oriented getter API for looking up the String from a doc).

And I removed getStringsIndex and replaced it with getTermsIndex.

All lucene tests pass with this hard cutover, but I still need to measure perf hit: I'm using packed ints currently to hold the offsets, and 1 or 2 byte vInt prefix (Yonik's idea) to encode the term's length.

I started to cutover Solr as well, and got some things cutover, but decided I should stop and check if these changes make sense :)  So the Solr side of the patch does not yet compile.  I specifically stopped when I got to StringIndexDocValues (abstract base class for lots of others) -- I'd like to do a hard cutover of this class to use BytesRef, but does anyone see a problem w/ that?  I'm at little nervous about how far "down" I'll end up having to push the BytesRef... It is marked as "Internal class, subject to change" :)  I also dropped lots of nocommits along the way on the Solr side... so if someone could have a look and make suggestions that'd help :)

> With flex, a term is now an opaque byte[] (typically, utf8 encoded unicode string, but not necessarily), so we need to push this up the search stack.
> FieldCache now has getStrings and getStringIndex; we need corresponding methods to load terms as native byte[], since in general they may not be representable as String.  This should be quite a bit more RAM efficient too, for US ascii content since each character would then use 1 byte not 2.
