I get the impression that using the 'long' type instead of 'integer' would use more disk space and degrade search performance (similary for double instead of float), but there's nothing in the documentation to back this impression up.
There must be an advantage to using integer (if you can) because otherwise it wouldn't exist. It just doesn't say what the advantage is. Can someone confirm? Even better does anyone have any stats on what difference it would make? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
