 For the `zstd` and `zstd_no_dict` codecs, you can optionally specify a compression level in the `index.codec.compression_level` setting. This setting takes integers in the [1, 6] range. A higher compression level results in a higher compression ratio (smaller storage size) with a tradeoff in speed (slower compression and decompression speeds lead to greater indexing and search latencies). 
 
 When an index segment is created, it uses the current index codec for compression. If you update the index codec, any segment created after the update will use the new compression algorithm. For specific operation considerations, see [Index codec considerations for index operations](#index-codec-considerations-for-index-operations).
