             Summary: CollapseQParserPlugin allocations are index based, not 
query based
                 Key: SOLR-9125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9125
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: query parsers
            Reporter: Jeff Wartes
            Priority: Minor


Among other things, CollapsingQParserPlugin’s OrdScoreCollector allocates space 
per-query for: 
1 int (doc id) per ordinal
1 float (score) per ordinal
1 bit (FixedBitSet) per document in the index
 
So the higher the cardinality of the thing you’re grouping on, and the more 
documents in the index, the more memory gets consumed per query. Since high 
cardinality and large indexes are the use-cases CollapseQParserPlugin was 
designed for, I thought I'd point this out.

My real issue is that this does not vary based on the number of results in the 
query, either before or after collapsing, so a query that results in one doc 
consumes the same amount of memory as one that returns all of them. All of the 
Collectors suffer from this to some degree, but I think OrdScore is the worst 
offender.
