{quote}Is this valuable to the wider community? Is there a way we can design
this to not break CheckIndex's contract while at the same time lessening
storage for unneeded tokens?
{quote}
Half assed straw man suggestion from the peanut gallery: would it make sense to
enhance the TermVector codec API in some way that would allow CheckIndex to ask
the codec which terms (from the posting list) to expect?
> Support 'filtered' term vectors - don't require all terms to be present

> Key: LUCENE-8403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8403
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael Braun
> Priority: Minor
>
> The genesis of this was a conversation and idea from [~dsmiley] several years
> ago.
> In order to optimize term vector storage, we may not actually need all tokens
> to be present in the term vectors - and if so, ideally our codec could just
> opt not to store them.
> I attempted to fork the standard codec and override the TermVectorsFormat and
> TermVectorsWriter to ignore storing certain Terms within a field. This
> worked, however, CheckIndex checks that the terms present in the standard
> postings are also present in the TVs, if TVs enabled. So this then doesn't
> work as 'valid' according to CheckIndex.
> Can the TermVectorsFormat be made in such a way to support configuration of
> tokens that should not be stored (benefits: less storage, more optimal
> retrieval per doc)? Is this valuable to the wider community? Is there a way
> we can design this to not break CheckIndex's contract while at the same time
> lessening storage for unneeded tokens?
