Heya,

Just pushed support for better compression of stored fields (\_source for  
example). The compression does not work on doc level (like setting compress  
to true in the \_source mapping), but instead works on the actual stored  
fields storage. I got pretty nice results with this compression turned on.  
This feature will be part of upcoming 0.19.5. More info here:  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2037](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2037).
