             Summary: BKDWriter should write ords as ints when possible during 
offline sort
                 Key: LUCENE-7098
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7098
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless


Today we write all ords as longs, since we support more than 2.1B values in one 
segment, but the vast majority of the time an int would suffice.

We could look into vLong, but this quickly gets tricky because {{BKDWriter}} 
needs random access to the file and we rely on fixed-width entries to do this 
now.
