Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1799:
--------------------------------------
I took a stab at benchmarking encoding speed only with some different languages.
I encoded a word at a time (which happens at indexing time).
I used some text from wikipedia in different languages: english, german,
french, spanish, and chinese.
I used WhitespaceAnalyzer for the first 4 and StandardAnalyzer for the chinese
(but analysis speed is not measured.)
|encoding|english|german|french|spanish|chinese|
|UTF-8 size|1888|4550|4875|5123|4497|
|BOCU-1 size|1888|4610|4995|5249|4497|
|BOCU slowdown|29%|39%|47%|61%|80%
I suspect that the StandardAnalyzer is spitting out individual CJK chars, and
hence the same size of BOCU-1 and UTF-8?
I'll try and see if I can get SmartChineseAnalyzer working and re-run the
chinese test.

> In lucene-1793, there is the off-topic suggestion to provide compression of
> Unicode data. The motivation was a custom encoding in a Russian analyzer. The
> original supposition was that it provided a more compact index.
> This led to the comment that a different or compressed encoding would be a
> generally useful feature.
> BOCU-1 was suggested as a possibility. This is a patented algorithm by IBM
> with an implementation in ICU. If Lucene provide it's own implementation a
> freely avIlable, royalty-free license would need to be obtained.
> SCSU is another Unicode compression algorithm that could be used.
> An advantage of these methods is that they work on the whole of Unicode. If
> that is not needed an encoding such as iso8859-1 (or whatever covers the
> input) could be used.
