Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7589:
--------------------------------------

Like Mike predicted, this helped the NYC taxi bench a bit, Disk usage for the 
dropoff datetime field went from 194MB to 166MB:

> can significantly increase the space requirements. I think we should have 
> protection against that.
