Hi Do Stored field values get added to the index for each document field combination literally or is a pointer used ? I've been reading http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/fileformats.pdf and I think thats the case but not 100% so thought I'd ask.
In logical terms for stored fields do we get this sort of storage: doc0 field0 > "xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxx" doc0field1 > "yyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyy" doc1 field0 > "xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxx" doc1field1 > "yyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyy" or this: doc0 field0 > {1} doc0field1 > {2} doc1 field0 > {1} doc1field1 > {2} val1 >"xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxx" val2 >"yyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy yyy" I'm trying to understand possible impact of storing fields which have a small set of repeating values, hoping it would not have an impact on file size. But I'm now think it will? thanks in advance
