+1, thanks [~dsmiley].
This is a major issue for us at Amazon – we are now running the catalog search
using a custom Codec that forces (reverts) the whole {{BinaryDocValues}}
writing/reading back to before LUCENE-9211, which is not really a comfortable
long-term solution.
I am hoping that the [ideas being discussed in the
PR|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1543] lead to an acceptable
solution. I think whether or not {{BinaryDocValues}} fields should be
compressed will be very application dependent. Some applications care greatly
about the size of the index, and can accept a small hit to search time
performance, but for others (like Amazon's!) it is the opposite.

> 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]
