Varun Thacker commented on LUCENE-5688:
---------------------------------------
Completely overlooked LUCENE-4921. Should I mark this as duplicate and post the
same patch there?
bq. Varun, i dont think we should make a long[] of size maxDoc in ram here just
to save some space on disk.
I felt the same way when I was writing it, but that was the easiest way to get
a quick patch out. I will try to think of a better way to achieve this. Do you
have any suggestions?

> 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.
