I hear Lucene 4 has index value compression whic reduces the size of index. I see that ES uses Lucene 3.x, when is Elastic Serach with Lucene 4.x going to be released? Any ideas.

Elasticsearch is about searching. Searching this mailing list (this is a common question 😉 ) reveals this thread: [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/elasticsearch/vdhQALzO1k4](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/elasticsearch/vdhQALzO1k4) So, by luck, this week maybe.

You can use compression today with 0.20.x (and 0.19.7 and above), which works in a similar manner to how the compression in Lucene 4.1 works. You need to set index.store.compress.stored to true. In next ES version (0.21), we already upgraded to Lucene 4.1, and compression is always enabled.
