Greg Miller commented on LUCENE-9850:
-------------------------------------
Ah, OK. I think I [found a
way|https://github.com/apache/lucene/compare/main...gsmiller:LUCENE-9850/pfordocids#diff-9f4cb4a664b2a8f0594b221368085548a58ecb1cc1290f18160b613d400fcc29]
to squeeze out some additional optimizations, especially for the 0 bpv case
discussed above. I'll run a fresh benchmark shortly and post results. Index
size reduction shouldn't be impacted at all by this change, only performance
(but I'll confirm).
> Explore PFOR for Doc ID delta encoding (instead of FOR)

> 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.
