             Summary: RoaringDocIdSet
                 Key: LUCENE-5983
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5983
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Assignee: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Minor


Robert pointed me to this paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.6407v4 that 
describes an interesting way to build doc id sets: The bit space is divided 
into blocks of 2^16 bits so that you can store the bits which are set either in 
a short[] (2 bytes per doc ID) or in a FixedBitSet. The choice is easy, if less 
than 2^12 bits are set, then the short[] representation is more compact 
otherwise a FixedBitSet would be more compact. It's quite similar to the way 
that Solr builds DocSets in {{SolrIndexSearcher.getDocSet(DocsEnumState)}}.
