If you make the compression external this is already done. In order
to do what the poster requires, you still need to read and update
fields without reading the entire document. You just do this at a
binary field level, and do all of he compression/decompression
externally.
I think putting the compression into Lucene needlessly complicates
matters. All that is required is in place field updating, and binary
field support.
I agree with you.
The API should be kept compatible between versions, but what about breaking
the compatibility in trunk? Is this will ba a problem is the function
Fieldable.isCompressed() is removed ?
OK I think this makes total sense. I've opened an issue to track this:
