The exponent +// and factor are chosen per vector. Each float is converted using +// c(f) = int64(f * 10^exponent * 10^-factor). The converted floats are then +// encoded via a delta frame of reference and bitpacked. Every exception, +// where the conversion/reconversion changes the value of the float, is stored +// separately and has to be patched into the decompressed vector afterwards. +// +// ========================================================================== +// ALP COMPRESSION/DECOMPRESSION PIPELINE +// ========================================================================== +// +// COMPRESSION FLOW: +// ----------------- +// +// Input: float/double array +// | +// v +// +------------------------------------------------------------------+ +// | 1.
