Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5688:
-------------------------------------
I think this is a duplicate of LUCENE-4921 ?
I guess the main thing is to differentiate between "sparse" data and "thousands
and thousands of fields" which usually hints at the problem not being in lucene
:)
> NumericDocValues fields with sparse data can be compressed better

> I ran into this problem where I had a dynamic field in Solr and indexed data
> into lots of fields. For each field only a few documents had actual values
> and the remaining documents the default value ( 0 ) got indexed. Now when I
> merge segments, the index size jumps up.
> For example I have 10 segments - Each with 1 DV field. When I merge segments
> into 1 that segment will contain all 10 DV fields with lots if 0s.
> This was the motivation behind trying to come up with a compression for a use
> case like this.
