Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2492:
------------------------------------
We can encode whether the posting is embedded or not by storing a byte or a
negative pointer for example. There are ways to do it with minimal to no more
space.
> Make PulsingCodec (wrapping StandardCodec) the default codec

> PulsingCodec can provides good gains, by inlining the postings into the terms
> dict for rare terms. This is especially helpful for primary key like fields,
> since every term is rare and batch lookups are common (see
> http://chbits.blogspot.com/2010/06/lucenes-pulsingcodec-on-primary-key.html
> for a simple perf test), but it should also be a gain for ordinary fields,
> thanks to Zipf's law.
> I think we should make it the default....
