Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-9378:
--------------------------------------------
{quote}As an alternative to API changes and on/off stuff (which is costly, it
means supporting multiple formats), maybe the compression should be less
aggressive, similar to what was implemented for the terms dictionary?
{quote}
+1, if we can find that compromise. Stored fields offers {{BEST}} and
{{FAST}}; maybe we can find the same balanced options here?

> Key: LUCENE-9378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9378
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Viral Gandhi
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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]
