We originally had the best_compression codec option implemented in ILM,
however, we removed it at the last minute. We should revisit adding this as an
action in ILM to allow for saving disk space.
Switching to best_compression does require the index to be closed, the setting
changed, then a force_merge applied to take advantage of the new codec setting.
That's something we will have to work out in the ILM lifecycle.
