Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-1990:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-1990.patch
I turned it into a patch (attached).
But: without the fix, when I run the test, I don't see it failing (on current
flex branch). I've fixed a few issues with packed ints on flex, but I don't
think they would've fixed this. Confused....

> There are various places in Lucene that could take advantage of an
> efficient packed unsigned int/long impl. EG the terms dict index in
> the standard codec in LUCENE-1458 could subsantially reduce it's RAM
> usage. FieldCache.StringIndex could as well. And I think "load into
> RAM" codecs like the one in TestExternalCodecs could use this too.
> I'm picturing something very basic like:
> {code}
> interface PackedUnsignedLongs {
> long get(long index);
> void set(long index, long value);
> }
> {code}
> Plus maybe an iterator for getting and maybe also for setting. If it
> helps, most of the usages of this inside Lucene will be "write once"
> so eg the set could make that an assumption/requirement.
> And a factory somewhere:
> {code}
> PackedUnsignedLongs create(int count, long maxValue);
> {code}
> I think we should simply autogen the code (we can start from the
> autogen code in LUCENE-1410), or, if there is an good existing impl
> that has a compatible license that'd be great.
> I don't have time near-term to do this... so if anyone has the itch,
> please jump!
