Atri Sharma commented on LUCENE-8796:
-------------------------------------
+1, nice change!
A few thoughts:
1) We could potentially reduce the number of comparisons (at average) using the
property that binary search uses same number of comparisons to search for a
value in 2^n and 2^n+1 -1. Could we adjust the lower bound of search space
based on that?
2) Could we improve things here for equal values?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8796
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Luca Cavanna
> Priority: Minor
>
> Chatting with [~jpountz] , he suggested to improve IntArrayDocIdSet by making
> its advance method use exponential search instead of binary search. This
> should help performance of queries including conjunctions: given that
> ConjunctionDISI uses leap frog, it advances through doc ids in small steps,
> hence exponential search should be faster when advancing on average compared
> to binary search.
