Description
For #3388 we need a realtime terms dictionary. While ConcurrentSkipListMap may be used, it has drawbacks in terms of high object overhead which can impact GC collection times and heap memory usage.
If we implement a skip list that uses primitive backing arrays, we can hopefully have a data structure that is [as] fast and memory efficient.

Research direction
Start by reading the migrated LUCENE-3245 description and its attached LUCENE-3245.patch, then review the context from #3388 and linked HBASE-4002. The payload names no source files or tests; done would require a primitive-array skip-list terms dictionary that addresses the stated object-overhead, GC, heap, speed, and memory-efficiency concerns.
