-----------------------------------
Hmm, as for the average skip length, I think a histogram might be better, I'll
add this later.
> Skip data should be inlined into the postings lists

> Today, we store all skip data as a separate blob at the end of a given term's
> postings (if that term occurs in enough docs to warrant skip data).
> But this adds overhead during decoding -- we have to seek to a different
> place for the initial load, we have to init separate readers, we have to seek
> again while using the lower levels of the skip data, etc. Also, we have to
> fully decode all skip information even if we are not going to use it (eg if I
> only want docIDs, I still must decode position offset and lastPayloadLength).
> If instead we interleaved skip data into the postings file, we could keep it
> local, and "private" to each file that needs skipping. This should make it
> least costly to init and then use the skip data, which'd be a good perf gain
> for eg PhraseQuery, AndQuery.
