Github user drcrallen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9243#issuecomment-150581844 General FYI, we did a lot of analysis on various bitmap implementations for the Druid project. We were more interested in the direct-memory (mmap'd file) capabilities. The general discussion thread can be found [in the dev group](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/druid-development/_kw2jncIlp0/FLEhI36b7W0J) The general findings were that Roaring (at the time) took up more space. This has been much improved in the 0.5.x line. So an alternate solution to this PR and the issue may be to upgrade to 0.5.x Roaring on the 0.4.x line was generally comparable or slightly faster than Concise in many aspects on our particular datasets in benchmarks against production-like workloads (judged by query time). Roaring was way faster than Concise at doing unions and intersections. Full analysis has not been re-run since the 0.5.x release.
