This is clearly spelled out in the "Upgrading from Solr 1.4" section of CHANGES.txt on trunk and branch 3x... * Field compression is no longer supported. Fields that were formerly compressed will be uncompressed as index segments are merged. For shorter fields, this may actually be an improvement, as the compression used was not very good for short text. Some indexes may get larger though. ...allthough it definitely seems bad that we do't have an issue link explaining in more detail. can someone familiar with this update CHANGES.txt to refer to the jira issue with more background? I can only find LUCENE-1960 off the cuf right now -- but it's just where COMPRESS is removed, it has no refrence to where it was deprecated. -Hoss
