Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4447:
--------------------------------------------
+1, thanks for tackling this Robert!
I like this: "it is essentially a specialized payload" :)
Maybe say up front that the block size is 128 ints at a time? Eg when we say
"the block size (...) is fixed" we could just add " (currently 128)".
When all values in the block are the same we encode that very compactly ... I
couldn't see where that's described in the docs ...

> Currently in some places this links to / compares to the current codec.
> I think it should be standalone, e.g. this text about comparison could be
> folded into the history section of the fileformats docs, and it should
> contain all info (not link to Lucene40 for the .tim format and so on)
