Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3246:
--------------------------------------------

bq. As we have now both variants to read/write BitVectors, would it be not a 
good idea to automatically use the old encoding for liveDocs, if more than 50% 
of all bits are unset? 

That seems like a good idea?  Ie, handle both sparse set and sparse unset 
compactly?  Though it should be unusual that you have so many deletes against a 
segment (esp. because TMP now targets such segs more aggressively).

We should do this under a new issue (the old code also didn't handle the "many 
deletions" case sparsely either, just the "few deletions" case).

> Invert IR.getDelDocs -> IR.getLiveDocs

> Spinoff from LUCENE-1536, where we need to fix the low level filtering
> we do for deleted docs to "match" Filters (ie, a set bit means the doc
> is accepted) so that filters can be pushed all the way down to the
> enums when possible/appropriate.
> This change also inverts the meaning first arg to
> TermsEnum.docs/AndPositions (renames from skipDocs to liveDocs).
