I think that 30% more RAM is ok .. i.e. either you will have enough RAM on the
machine, or those 30% won't make a big difference (for really large indexes).
{quote}
This is misleading. Its not a constant 30%. The larger the index, the larger
the cost.

E.g., if facets were in core, then we could modify IWC to detect when facets
are used (e.g. isEnableFacets) and then create the optimized Codec for them...
{quote}
I would be against this even if facets were in core. I think its ok to add this
option, but i don't think its a good default. I think the benchmark being used
here is easily misleading.

> The new default DV format for binary fields has much more
> RAM-efficient encoding of the address for each document ... but it's
> also a bit slower at decode time, which affects facets because we
> decode for every collected docID.
