Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-10033:
---------------------------------------------
Thanks for trying on this [~jpountz]! And for thinking of the possible (and
realized) impact to Amazon Product Search. And thank you [~gsmiller] and
[~weizijun] for testing performance impact. This is such a tricky balancing
act, index size versus search performance impact. I think this also shows how
vital it is to improve {{luceneutil}} benchmarks to test more realistic (more
sparse, not just {{MatchAllDocsQuery}}) facet tasks. We have an issue open for
this now at least: [https://github.com/mikemccand/luceneutil/issues/137].

> Our current approach for doc values uses large blocks of 16k values where
> values can be decompressed independently, using DirectWriter/DirectReader.
> This is a bit inefficient in some cases, e.g. a single outlier can grow the
> number of bits per value for the entire block, we can't easily use run-length
> compression, etc. Plus, it encourages using a different sub-class for every
> compression technique, which puts pressure on the JVM.
> We'd like to move to an approach that would be more similar to postings with
> smaller blocks (e.g. 128 values) whose values get all decompressed at once
> (using SIMD instructions), with skip data within blocks in order to
> efficiently skip to arbitrary doc IDs (or maybe still use jump tables as
> today's doc values, and as discussed here for postings:
