## Class CompressingStoredFieldsFormat

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.codecs.StoredFieldsFormat
  - - org.apache.lucene.codecs.compressing.CompressingStoredFieldsFormat

-     public class CompressingStoredFieldsFormat
      extends StoredFieldsFormat

  A `StoredFieldsFormat` that compresses documents in chunks in order to improve the compression ratio.

  For a chunk size of `chunkSize` bytes, this `StoredFieldsFormat` does not support documents larger than (`231 - chunkSize`) bytes.

  For optimal performance, you should use a `MergePolicy` that returns segments that have the biggest byte size first.

  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    - #### CompressingStoredFieldsFormat

          public CompressingStoredFieldsFormat(String formatName,
                                       CompressionMode compressionMode,
                                       int chunkSize,
                                       int maxDocsPerChunk,
                                       int blockSize)

      Create a new `CompressingStoredFieldsFormat` with an empty segment suffix.

    - #### CompressingStoredFieldsFormat

          public CompressingStoredFieldsFormat(String formatName,
                                       String segmentSuffix,
                                       CompressionMode compressionMode,
                                       int chunkSize,
                                       int maxDocsPerChunk,
                                       int blockSize)

      Create a new `CompressingStoredFieldsFormat`.

      `formatName` is the name of the format. This name will be used in the file formats to perform `codec header checks`.

      `segmentSuffix` is the segment suffix. This suffix is added to the result file name only if it's not the empty string.

      The `compressionMode` parameter allows you to choose between compression algorithms that have various compression and decompression speeds so that you can pick the one that best fits your indexing and searching throughput. You should never instantiate two `CompressingStoredFieldsFormat`s that have the same name but different `CompressionMode`s.

      `chunkSize` is the minimum byte size of a chunk of documents. A value of `1` can make sense if there is redundancy across fields. `maxDocsPerChunk` is an upperbound on how many docs may be stored in a single chunk. This is to bound the cpu costs for highly compressible data.

      Higher values of `chunkSize` should improve the compression ratio but will require more memory at indexing time and might make document loading a little slower (depending on the size of your OS cache compared to the size of your index).

      Parameters:
        `formatName` - the name of the `StoredFieldsFormat`
        `compressionMode` - the `CompressionMode` to use
        `chunkSize` - the minimum number of bytes of a single chunk of stored documents
        `maxDocsPerChunk` - the maximum number of documents in a single chunk
        `blockSize` - the number of chunks to store in an index block
      See Also:
        `CompressionMode`
