: Now the question is, how the compressed=true flag impacts the indexing : and Querying operations. I am sure that there will be CPU utilization : spikes as there will be operation of compressing(during indexing) and : uncompressing(during querying) of the indexed data. I am mainly looking : for any bench marks for the above scenario.
i don't have any hard numbers for you, but the stored data isn't uncompressed when executing aquery -- queries are executed against the indexed terms (which are never compressed) ... the only time the data will be uncompressed is when returning results to the client -- so if you set rows=17 in your request, only the values for the 17 docs returned (or less if there were fewer then 17 matches) will be uncompressed. -Hoss
