I used lucene 4.4 to create index for some documents. One of the indexing fields is BinaryDocValuesField. After I change the dependency to lucene 4.5. The index size for 1 million documents increases from 293MB to 357MB. If I did not use BinaryDocValuesField, the index size increases only about 2%. I also tried lucene 4.8. The index size is similar to index size with lucene 4.5.
I am wondering what the change for handling BinaryDocValuesField from 4.4 to 4.5 or 4.8 is. Gang Zhao Software Engineer - EA Digital Platform 207 Redwood Shores Parkway Redwood City, CA 94065 Direct Line: 650-628-3719 [cid:image001.png@01CD68F0.6239B040]
