Emmanuel Espina commented on LUCENE-5084:
-----------------------------------------

Have you considered creating a PostingFormat with this? I was thinking in 
something like DirectPostingsFormat but instead of using an array of ints for 
storing the docIds using an Elias-Fano compressed bit stream.
Facebook is using an in-memory index for its graph search and they are 
compressing the posting lists with Elias Fano
