[Photon] Search by osm_id? Is 900GB requirement still current?

[Seb J]

Apologies, I misspoke regarding the storage requirement and I have to 
correct myself here; plain Nominatim requires 900GB according to their 
docs. While Photon's docs mention a compressed search index file size of 
53GB in their docs, and Nominatim's blog post mentions a storage size 
requirement of 130GB. With this correction in mind, it's a minor 
question, not a pressing matter, since 130GB is little.

My point regarding fetching a single feature by osm_id however, is 
personally more pressing.
