    Description

      Lucene 8.5.1 includes a change to always compress BinaryDocValues. This caused (~30%) reduction in our red-line QPS (throughput). 

      We think users should be given some way to opt-in for this compression feature instead of always being enabled which can have a substantial query time cost as we saw during our upgrade. mikemccand suggested one possible approach by introducing a mode in Lucene80DocValuesFormat (COMPRESSED and UNCOMPRESSED) and allowing users to create a custom Codec subclassing the default Codec and pick the format they want.

      Idea is similar to Lucene50StoredFieldsFormat which has two modes, Mode.BEST_SPEED and Mode.BEST_COMPRESSION.

      Here's related issues for adding benchmark covering BINARY doc values query-time performance - https://github.com/mikemccand/luceneutil/issues/61
