Hi, I have a data model where I would store and index a lot of integer values with a very restricted range (e.g. 0-255), so theoretically the 32 bits of Solr's integer fields are complete overkill. I want to be able to to things like vector distance calculations on those fields. Should I worry about the "wasted" bits or will Solr compress/organize the index in a way that compensates for this if there are only 256 (or even fewer) distinct values?
Any recommendations on how my fields should be defined to make things like numeric functions work as fast as technically possible? Thanks in advance, Robert
