Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8033:
--------------------------------------

What is DBQ? Also it's not clear for me whether you're talking about 
byNumberMap (sparse encoding) or byNumberTable (dense encoding).

> Should FieldInfos always use a dense encoding?

> Spin-off from LUCENE-8018. The dense vs. sparse encoding logic of FieldInfos 
> introduces  complexity. Given that the sparse encoding is only used when less 
> than 1/16th of fields are used, which sounds uncommon to me, maybe we should 
> use a dense encoding all the time?
