--------------------------------------------

Thanks Billy, that's a nice optimization!  I think other postings formats 
should do the same thing...

It seems to give a small gain to the skip-heavy queries:

> 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.
