+* Field compression is no longer supported. Fields that were formally
+  compressed will be uncompressed as index segments are merged. For
+  shorter fields, this may actually be an improvement, as the compression
+  used was not very good for short text. Some indexes may get larger though.
+  The Lucene index format has changed due to the removal of native 
+  compression, and as a result, once you upgrade, previous versions of Solr
+  will no longer be able to read the index.
