Compressed fields should be "externalized" (from Fields into Document)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-652
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-652
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Index
Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.9, 2.0.1, 2.1
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Right now, as of 2.0 release, Lucene supports compressed stored fields.
However, after discussion on java-dev, the suggestion arose, from Robert
Engels, that it would be better if this logic were moved into the Document
level. This way the indexing level just stores opaque binary fields, and then
Document handles compress/uncompressing as needed.
This approach would have prevented issues like LUCENE-629 because merging of
segments would never need to decompress.
See this thread for the recent discussion:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/38836
When we do this we should also work on related issue LUCENE-648.
