Thanks. We could this feature be expected 2.9 OR 3.0?

This is a good feature. Mostly Users store sparse data. All records may not 
have data for all fields. This will reduce the memory consumption to a large 
extent. In my case almost 30% of records just store information of reference 
file pointers and it is not part of initial search.

Ganesh
