Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-9843:
-------------------------------------
Great example of why its important: for a while lucene's nightly bench has been
inadvertently using BEST_COMPRESSION for the stored fields. The change wasn't
even intentional, instead it was just triggered "on accident"!!!!!:

Really if we can't get it right, it is clear this stuff is too complex.
> Remove compression option on doc values

> Key: LUCENE-9843
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9843
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Options on file formats add complexity and put a big tax on
> backward-compatibility testing. I'm the one who introduced it LUCENE-9378 but
> I would now like to think about what we can do to remove this option.
> For the record, compression was initially introduced because some binary
> fields have so much redundancy that it's wasteful not to compress them at
> all. But unfortunately, this slowed down some search workloads and we decided
> to introduce this option as a way to let users choose the trade-off they want.
