-In order to reduce the risk when extended evaluation of the solution is still on going, a feature flag that is managed by

-Here is an example to enable this feature by setting the property "indexer-decimation-enabled" in a given data partition:

+The feature is enabled by default for all data partitions. If client does not want the geo-shape to be decimated in their
+data partitions, they can disable geo-shape decimation through the Partition Service.

 ```
