Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3892:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks Billy, I'll commit!
One thing I noticed: I think we shouldn't separately read numBytes and the int
header? Can't we do a single readVInt(), and that encodes numBytes as well as
format (bit width and format, once we tie into oal.util.packed APIs)? Also, we
shouldn't encode numInts at all, ie, this should be fixed for the whole
segment, and not written per block.
> Add a useful intblock postings format (eg, FOR, PFOR, PFORDelta,
> Simple9/16/64, etc.)

> On the flex branch we explored a number of possible intblock
> encodings, but for whatever reason never brought them to completion.
> There are still a number of issues opened with patches in different
> states.
> Initial results (based on prototype) were excellent (see
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2010/08/lucene-performance-with-pfordelta-codec.html
> ).
> I think this would make a good GSoC project.
