I wrote them, so I can speak to that. They are "not known not to work," but were never vetted to our project's high standards, so not formally documented. A larger issue we wrangled with but didn't solve was how to save and restore a Judy array to mass storage. Since they are pointer-rich, you'd have to do a lot of pointer fixups of some kind on restore, with no guarantees malloc() would give consistent results, etc. Storing data was so fast in the first place it wasn't a high priority to add save/restore. The Judy*Array() functions were a personal project to see how much faster you could do bulk insertion, still translating from a more "portable" data format, and it really was a lot faster.
