Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-5794:
--------------------------------------
Yes. If you have an algorithm that works better on random-access ords, I'd like
to write it using the RandomAccessOrds class and then still make it usable on
codecs that don't have random-access ords by using this slow wrapper. If your
documents only have a couple of values, this is probably OK anyway. I think we
just need to make sure this wrapping is explicit in order to avoid worst-cases?

> Even if you are using an algorithm that requires random access (eg. sorting
> based on the maximum value), it might still be ok to allow for it
> occasionally on a codec that doesn't support random access like
> MemoryDocValuesFormat by having a slow random-access wrapper. This slow
> wrapper would need to be enabled explicitely. This would allow to have
> algorithms that are optimized on random-access codecs but still work in the
> general case.
