> Adding compression to BinaryDocValues storage
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9211
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/codecs
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Assignee: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> While SortedSetDocValues can be used today to store identical values in a
> compact form this is not effective for data with many unique values.
> The proposal is that BinaryDocValues should be stored in LZ4 compressed
> blocks which can dramatically reduce disk storage costs in many cases. The
> proposal is blocks of a number of documents are stored as a single compressed
> blob along with metadata that records offsets where the original document
> values can be found in the uncompressed content.
> There's a trade-off here between efficient compression (more docs-per-block =
> better compression) and fast retrieval times (fewer docs-per-block = faster
> read access for single values). A fixed block size of 32 docs seems like it
> would be a reasonable compromise for most scenarios.
> A PR is up for review here [https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1234]
