LUCENE-7081: prefix-compress compressible fixed-width data (like
InetAddress/BigInteger)
> Docvalues terms dict should sometimes prefix-compress fixed-length data.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-7081
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7081
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Fix For: master, 6.0
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-7081.patch
>
>
> For Sorted/SortedSet types, we encode ordinals and a term dictionary (similar
> to old lucene 3 term dictionary).
> Originally we had no prefix compression, so we "save space" in the
> fixed-width case by avoiding addressing, we can just use multiplication:
> https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/codecs/lucene54/Lucene54DocValuesConsumer.java#L423-L425
>
> But it means no compression whatsoever of the actual bytes, even if values
> are enormous, I don't think its necessarily a good tradeoff. The lack of
> prefix compression can become much more magnified now that we have fixed
> width 128-bit point types in the sandbox...
