Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-5914:
--------------------------------------
+1 thanks Robert. I am good with a constructor argument, the only reason why I
initially added it as a protected method was to be consistent with postings and
doc values formats.
Regarding the patch, it just feels weird to me to have this
{{Objects.requireNonNull(mode)}} validation in the {{Lucene50Codec(Mode)}}
constructor, I would have expeced it to be solely the responsibility of the
Lucene50StoredFieldsFormat constructor?

> Since we added codec-level compression in Lucene 4.1 I think I got about the
> same amount of users complaining that compression was too aggressive and that
> compression was too light.
> I think it is due to the fact that we have users that are doing very
> different things with Lucene. For example if you have a small index that fits
> in the filesystem cache (or is close to), then you might never pay for actual
> disk seeks and in such a case the fact that the current stored fields format
> needs to over-decompress data can sensibly slow search down on cheap queries.
> On the other hand, it is more and more common to use Lucene for things like
> log analytics, and in that case you have huge amounts of data for which you
> don't care much about stored fields performance. However it is very
> frustrating to notice that the data that you store takes several times less
> space when you gzip it compared to your index although Lucene claims to
> compress stored fields.
> For that reason, I think it would be nice to have some kind of options that
> would allow to trade speed for compression in the default codec.
