What is bad of using pulsing postings format?

From this article
(http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2010/06/lucenes-pulsingcodec-on-primary-key.html)
I know pulsing codec saves one disk seek hence introduces performance gain.
I would like to know what I pay for using pulsing codec? What will happen
if I give it a high cut-off frequency so that all postings are stored in
term dictionary?

In other words, instead of the goodness, I would like to know what is the
drawback of using pulsing postings format?

Thank you.

There is not really an advantage to it.

The optimization has been incorporated into the default index format
of lucene: [LUCENE-4498] pulse docfreq=1 DOCS_ONLY for 4.1 codec - ASF JIRA

If it doesn't have an advantage can it be deprecated? The whole codecs
page of the Elasticsearch guide seems like it could use a once over by
someone that really knows what they are doing. I.E. not me :slight_smile:

+1 on having more information on codecs/postings format. Including examples on where each makes sense and where they don't.

The current documentation on the codec module page in reference doesn't make the trade offs very clear. It's quite vague to somebody who has not used it (not complaining just a statement FYI) before. I think having examples where each makes sense and where they don't would make things much clearer.

Thank you.
