Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-9378:
--------------------------------------------
{quote}I'm wondering if there is anything I should know about if/how it would
be a bad idea to continue using the `Lucene70DocValuesFormat` until this issue
is resolved?
{quote}
Just be aware that you don't have the backwards compatibility guarantee you
would normally have.
E.g. in the future when you upgrade to Lucene 9.x release, it will not be able
to read these indices you are creating with {{Lucene70DocValuesFormat}}.
Also, few people are fixing bugs in that format, though it is/was widely used
so is likely nearly bug free ;)

> Lucene 8.5.1 includes a change to always [compress
> BinaryDocValues|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9211]. This
> caused (~30%) reduction in our red-line QPS (throughput).
> We think users should be given some way to opt-in for this compression
> feature instead of always being enabled which can have a substantial query
> time cost as we saw during our upgrade. [~mikemccand] suggested one possible
> approach by introducing a *mode* in Lucene80DocValuesFormat (COMPRESSED and
> UNCOMPRESSED) and allowing users to create a custom Codec subclassing the
> default Codec and pick the format they want.
> Idea is similar to Lucene50StoredFieldsFormat which has two modes,
> Mode.BEST_SPEED and Mode.BEST_COMPRESSION.
> Here's related issues for adding benchmark covering BINARY doc values
> query-time performance - [https://github.com/mikemccand/luceneutil/issues/61]
