Hi,

As per the blog below, there is considerable improvement made in Elasticsearch 7.10 in data storage needs.  
[Save space and money with improved storage efficiency in Elasticsearch 7.10 | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/save-space-and-money-with-improved-storage-efficiency-in-elasticsearch-7-10).

In our tests as well with 7.10 , we see storage savings of 10 - 15 percent compared to the version Elasticsearch 7.0 we have been using. However this comes with a cost in performance time.  
We see a similar degradation of 10% - 20% in the overall indexing time by just doing an apple to apple comparison with 7.0 based setup.

From the documents we do not see a specific configuration which can turn off the increased compression rate. We use the default from Elaticsearch now ( Did not do the best\_compression) as it clearly indicates there can be more performance issues in search time.

I have the following points to clarify. Any inputs on this would be really helpful.  
Is the performance degradation in Indexing expected due to the improved storage compression?  
Is there a way to turn off the new compression logic?

Just refreshing the thread to hear back from anyone with 7.10 experience on indexing speed...

Could you share your mapping and a sample document?  
I guess you are running on the exact same machines?
