Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8198:
-------------------------------------
The other advantage of the DV field would be at query-time, if it could be
incorporated into the index sort.
If someone has a lot of these documents sticking around that should be filtered
out, it would allow segments to be early-terminated based on a maxDocID rather
than filtered out one-by-one.
Otherwise i am concerned that searching would just get slower and slower :)
> Add ability to persist deletes across merges

> This allows conditionally persist deletes on a per document basis to prevent
> them from being merged away. This expert feature is useful to maintain
> history of documents in the index where otherwise a duplicate storage
> mechanism would be needed. For instance features like CouchDBs changes API
> can be build on top of persistent deletes. While using persistent deletes has
> a considerably small overhead at merge time or when deletes applied to fully
> deleted segments, there is no impact if persistent deletes are unused.
