Can you explain a bit on where the memory overhead comes from?
What kind of index structure would you recommend in this case?
Thanks.

Less of a wasted space, but, a field does come with a memory overhead.

I have many categories of products. Each category has its own unique
fields.For example, category "Apparel" has fields "size", "color", "style".
Category "laptop" has fields "processor", "RAM", "screen size". etc
etc.So if I use 1 index for all the products, there will be many
(potentially tens of thousands) fields. Each field will only be used
by a small portion of products. Is this "1 index" approach a good
design? Will all those empty fields lead to wasted space?Thanks
