Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3892:
--------------------------------------------
I think a good thing to explore next is to stop using our own packed ints impl
and instead cutover to oal.util.packed? (Since so much effort has gone into
making those impls fast).
LUCENE-4161 has already taken a big step towards making them usable ... we
should prototype an initial cutover and then iterate?
> 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.
