--------------------------------------------
Billy, it looks like this patch is a bit stale (it doesn't apply on the current
branch)? Can you please update it? Thanks.
> Support more frequent skip with Block Postings Format

> This change works on the new bulk branch.
> Currently, our BlockPostingsFormat only supports skipInterval==blockSize.
> Every time the skipper reaches the last level 0 skip point, we'll have to
> decode a whole block to read doc/freq data. Also, a higher level skip list
> will be created only for those df>blockSize^k, which means for most terms,
> skipping will just be a linear scan. If we increase current blockSize for
> better bulk i/o performance, current skip setting will be a bottleneck.
> For ForPF, the encoded block can be easily splitted if we set
> skipInterval=32*k.
