[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-648?page=comments#action_12427385 ] Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-648: ----------------------------------------
Just curious, have you tried other values in here to see what kind of difference it makes before we go looking for a solution? Could you maybe put together a little benchmark that tries out the various levels and report back? It could be possible to add another addDocument method from the IndexWriter, so you could change it per document, we could make it part of the constructor to IndexWriter or we could do it as mentioned above. I am not sure what is the best way just yet. I think this also may fall under the notion of the Flexible Indexing thread that we have been talking about (someday it will get implemented). > Allow changing of ZIP compression level for compressed fields > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-648 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-648 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.9, 2.0.1, 2.1 > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > > In response to this thread: > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/38810 > I think we should allow changing the compression level used in the call to > java.util.zip.Deflator in FieldsWriter.java.
