Hi,
I want to use elasticsearch for searches that tells whether a particular
tokens occurs within a document or not. I don't want any sort of scoring,
frequency or positioning info. For this I've set omit\_norms=true and
index\_options=docs.
In the data directory, I can see pos and doc file. Doc file accounts for
17% of the storage and Pos file takes 1.5% storage. Is there any way, we
can skip this files?
Thanks,
Anand

The .doc files contain the posting list. The postings list and the term
dictionary (.tim files) are used for basic filtering / querying, without
those files simple simple filtering / querying wouldn't work.
If all your fields are configured with `index_options` : `docs` then there
shouldn't be a .pos file. If you want to know more about the Lucene files I
recommend you to read:

There is a .pos file hold data from the ID / Version field since we use
payloads for versioning. This will go away in 1.0 since we use DocValues
for this in 1.0.
