yeah that is correct, its the new default. if you use Lucene 4.1 this
will be enabled and used by default for all stored fields.
there is also a blog post about the stored fields format

you mean where it is used? Look at the org.apache.lucene.codecs.Codec
class, it has a method:

  public abstract StoredFieldsFormat storedFieldsFormat();

which returns a stored fields format used to encode your stored fields
written by the index writer.

Look at Lucene41Codec this is where the field format is created. you
can use your own codec (subclass codec) and plug it into the
IndexWriterConfig
to apply your own settings.

I don't think we have examples on the wiki for that stuff but we should I guess.
