Adrien Grand updated LUCENE-4643:
---------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-4643.patch
Good point. I removed zig-zag encoding and modified the javadocs to say these
classes only support positive values.

>
> It is often useful to divide a packed stream into fixed blocks which are all
> compressed independently:
> * if your sequence of ints is very large, you won't have to buffer
> everything into memory to compute the required number of bits per value,
> * the compression ratio will be better in case of rare extreme values.
> The only drawback compared to the original PackedInts API is that the stream
> cannot be directly used to deserialize a random-access PackedInts.Reader (but
> for sequential access, this is just fine).
