Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-5101:
--------------------------------------

bq. I wrote a benchmark (attached) to see how they compared to FixedBitSet, you 
can look at the results here: 
http://people.apache.org/~jpountz/doc_id_sets.html 

Thank you very much, plenty of dilemma's ahead. Do WAH8 and PFOR already have 
an index?
With an index, each of these, including Elias-Fano, should have about constant 
access time when advancing far enough. What that constant time will be is still 
open.

Block decoding might still be added to EliasFano, which should improve its 
next() performance, but I have no idea by how much. See also at LUCENE-2750 for 
Kamikaze PFOR.
The Elias-Fano code is not tuned yet, so I'm surprised that the Elias-Fano time 
for nextDoc() is less than a factor two worse than PFOR.

Another surpise is that Elias-Fano is best at advance() among the compressed 
sets for some cases. That means that Long.bitCount() is doing well on the upper 
bits then.

For bit densities > 1/2 there is clear need for WAH8 and Elias-Fano to be able 
to encode the inverse set. Could that be done by a common wrapper?

> Is there any value to having all this other logic in the protected API? It 
> seems like something thats not useful for a subclass... Maybe this stuff can 
> become final, and "INTERESTING PART" calls a simpler method, something like:
> {code}
> protected DocIdSet cacheImpl(DocIdSetIterator iterator, AtomicReader reader) {
>   final FixedBitSet bits = new FixedBitSet(reader.maxDoc());
>   bits.or(iterator);
>   return bits;
> }
> {code}
