Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1909:
-------------------------------------

I know its not a big deal - but I have an abrasive reputation to maintain ;)

The default terms info divisor essentially means that feature is turned off. 
The 1 just means, don't sub sample the terms index. Its off.

For your use case, I would do:

{code}
if (index is big or memory is tight){
  reader = IndexReader.open(..., largerTermsIndexDiv);
} else{
  reader = IndexReader.open(...);
}
{code}

If you don't use that argument, you get the default. Whenever I see an issue to 
open up something in Lucene without a reason that makes sense to me, I think 
its a good idea to push back. If it really does make sense, it will make it 
through - but I don't think anything should get a free pass. This one is still 
not making sense to me.

Your right - its not a big deal - but I still don't see a reason to open it up.
