Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-4509:
--------------------------------------
Right, the docBase could be known from the index with MEMORY_CHUNK, but on the
other hand duplicating the information helps validating that we are at the
right place in the fields data file (there are corruption tests that use this
docBase). Given that the chunk starts with a doc base and the number of docs in
the chunk, it gives the range of documents it contains. The overhead should be
very small given that this VInt is repeated at most every {compressed size of
16KB}. But I have no strong feeling about it, if you think we should remove it,
then let's do it.

> What would you think of making CompressingStoredFieldsFormat the new default
> StoredFieldsFormat?
> Stored fields compression has many benefits :
> - it makes the I/O cache work for us,
> - file-based index replication/backup becomes cheaper.
> Things to know:
> - even with incompressible data, there is less than 0.5% overhead with LZ4,
> - LZ4 compression requires ~ 16kB of memory and LZ4 HC compression requires
> ~ 256kB,
> - LZ4 uncompression has almost no memory overhead,
> - on my low-end laptop, the LZ4 impl in Lucene uncompresses at ~ 300mB/s.
> I think we could use the same default parameters as in CompressingCodec :
> - LZ4 compression,
> - in-memory stored fields index that is very memory-efficient (less than 12
> bytes per block of compressed docs) and uses binary search to locate
> documents in the fields data file,
> - 16 kB blocks (small enough so that there is no major slow down when the
> whole index would fit into the I/O cache anyway, and large enough to provide
> interesting compression ratios ; for example Robert got a 0.35 compression
> ratio with the geonames.org database).
> Any concerns?
