field compression in solr 3.6

["pramila_thakur@ontla.ola.org" <pr...@ontla.ola.org>]

Hi Everyone,

solr 3.6 does not seem to be honoring the field compress.

While merging the indexes the size of Index is very big. 

Is there any other way to  handle this to keep compression functionality?

thanks,

Compression support was removed from Solr.  I am not clear on the 
reasons, but there was probably a good one.  The wiki says it happened 
in 1.4.1.

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml#Data_Types

There seems to be a patch to put compression back in, implemented in a 
different way that is not compatible with fields compressed in the old 
way.  The patch has not been committed to any Solr version.

Thanks,
Shawn
