-----------------------------------
bq. I think we should just commit this current patch onto the block PF branch
...
+1, but shall we wait Adrien to fix the missing methods first?
> Provide access to PackedInts' low-level blocks <-> values conversion methods

> In LUCENE-4161 we started to make the {{PackedInts}} API more flexible so
> that codecs could use it whenever they need to (un)pack integers. There are
> two posting formats in progress (For and PFor, LUCENE-3892) that perform a
> lot of integer (un)packing but the current API still has limits :
> - it only works with long[] arrays, whereas these codecs need to manipulate
> int[] arrays,
> - the packed reader iterators work great for unpacking long sequences of
> integers, but they would probably cause a lot of overhead to decode lots of
> short integer sequences such as the ones that can be generated by For and
> PFor.
> I've been looking at the For/PFor branch and it has a
> {{PackedIntsDecompress}} class
> (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/pforcodec_3892/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/codecs/pfor/PackedIntsDecompress.java)
> which is very similar to {{oal.util.packed.BulkOperation}}
> (package-private), so maybe we should find a way to expose this class so that
> the For/PFor branch can directly use it.
