Greg Miller commented on LUCENE-9850:
-------------------------------------
I've got a (somewhat hacky) tool in the works that will show bit-per-value
distribution over an index using FOR vs. PFOR for doc ID delta encoding. I'll
see if I can put that somewhere sharable in the next day or two along with some
results.
> Explore PFOR for Doc ID delta encoding (instead of FOR)

> Key: LUCENE-9850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9850
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: core/codecs
> Affects Versions: main (9.0)
> Reporter: Greg Miller
> Priority: Minor
>
> It'd be interesting to explore using PFOR instead of FOR for doc ID encoding.
> Right now PFOR is used for positions, frequencies and payloads, but FOR is
> used for doc ID deltas. From a recent
> [conversation|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/202103.mbox/%3CCAPsWd%2BOp7d_GxNosB5r%3DQMPA-v0SteHWjXUmG3gwQot4gkubWw%40mail.gmail.com%3E]
> on the dev mailing list, it sounds like this decision was made based on the
> optimization possible when expanding the deltas.
> I'd be interesting in measuring the index size reduction possible with
> switching to PFOR compared to the performance reduction we might see by no
> longer being able to apply the deltas in as optimal a way.
