Hi Nicolas,

Search stores a representation of the indexed object so that it knows what
to do later if you delete the object, change the object, or re-index the
object with a different analyzer. The representation allows us to delete the
old inverted index entries correctly.

We have considered adding a toggle to disable storage of the representation
object for write-once data, but it's not something the system currently
supports.

Best,
Rusty
