David Smiley commented on LUCENE-8403:
--------------------------------------
Atri, I appreciate you put some effort into this but your patch wouldn't work
for the use case that inspired the creation of this feature-request. The terms
to be omitted by the term vector are matchable by a pattern; it's not a fixed
pre-determined list. For example imagine filtering all terms that start or end
with a special character.
But this issue is stuck without addressing the concern Robert raises --
CheckIndex. I don't recall the particulars of where in CheckIndex.java it
complains but try it out on your patch to see. Given randomized checkIndex
usage automatically within tests, I suspect your patch will ultimately fail
given enough iterations.

> The genesis of this was a conversation and idea from [~dsmiley] several years
> ago.
> In order to optimize term vector storage, we may not actually need all tokens
> to be present in the term vectors - and if so, ideally our codec could just
> opt not to store them.
> I attempted to fork the standard codec and override the TermVectorsFormat and
> TermVectorsWriter to ignore storing certain Terms within a field. This
> worked, however, CheckIndex checks that the terms present in the standard
> postings are also present in the TVs, if TVs enabled. So this then doesn't
> work as 'valid' according to CheckIndex.
> Can the TermVectorsFormat be made in such a way to support configuration of
> tokens that should not be stored (benefits: less storage, more optimal
> retrieval per doc)? Is this valuable to the wider community? Is there a way
> we can design this to not break CheckIndex's contract while at the same time
> lessening storage for unneeded tokens?
