Compression is only relevant for the original text, not the indexed part. So in terms of searching, it's irrelevant.
Where it is relevant is when you *fetch* the document (e.g. doe = hits.doc(32)), the de-compression work is done (for stored documents). Depending upon your app, this may or may not matter. Here's a writeup I did that will shed some light on this, even though it talks about FieldSelector (which, if you really need to compress data you probably care about too). http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/FieldSelectorPerformance Best Erick On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 8:29 AM, sumantht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi > is it preferable to compress each and every field, if not why.? > how exactly it helps? > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/which-type-of-fields-are-to-be-compressed-tp18464056p18464056.html > Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >
