The possible inefficiency is the same as the one for a any sparsely filled 
OpenBitSet.

Another implementation (should be another issue, but since you asked...) could 
be a set of increasing integers, based on a balanced tree structure with a 
moderate fanout (e.g. 32), and all integer values relative to the minimum 
determined by the data for the pointer from the parent. The whole thing could 
be stored in one int[], the pointers would be (forward) indexes into this one 
array, and each internal node would consist of two rows of integers (one data, 
one pointers), and each row would be compressed as a frame of reference into 
the array.

This thing can implement {code}int next(int x){code} and {code}int previous(int 
x){code} easily, and an iterator over this can implement 
{code}advance(target){code} for a DocIdSetIterator, and because of the symmetry 
it can also do that in the reverse direction as needed here.
Compression at higher levels might not be necessary.

For now, there is no code for this, except for the frame of reference.
Occasionaly the need for a more space efficient filter shows up on the mailing 
lists, so if anyone wants to give this a try...

> I created a single-pass Query + Collector to implement nested docs.
> The approach is similar to LUCENE-2454, in that the app must index
> documents in "join order", as a block (IW.add/updateDocuments), with
> the parent doc at the end of the block, except that this impl is one
> pass.
> Once you join at indexing time, you can take any query that matches
> child docs and join it up to the parent docID space, using
> BlockJoinQuery.  You then use BlockJoinCollector, which sorts parent
> docs by provided Sort, to gather results, grouped by parent; this
> collector finds any BlockJoinQuerys (using Scorer.visitScorers) and
> retains the child docs corresponding to each collected parent doc.
> After searching is done, you retrieve the TopGroups from a provided
> BlockJoinQuery.
> Like LUCENE-2454, this is less general than the arbitrary joins in
> Solr (SOLR-2272) or parent/child from ElasticSearch
> (https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/553), since you
> must do the join at indexing time as a doc block, but it should be
> able to handle nested joins as well as joins to multiple tables,
> though I don't yet have test cases for these.
> I put this in a new Join module (modules/join); I think as we
> refactor join impls we should put them here.
