+/**
+ * Lucene 5.0 postings format, which encodes postings in packed integer blocks 
for fast decode.
+ *
+ * <p>Basic idea:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Packed Blocks and VInt Blocks</b>:
+ *       <p>In packed blocks, integers are encoded with the same bit width 
({@link PackedInts packed
+ *       format}): the block size (i.e. number of integers inside block) is 
fixed (currently 128).
+ *       Additionally blocks that are all the same value are encoded in an 
optimized way.
+ *       <p>In VInt blocks, integers are encoded as {@link 
DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}: the block
+ *       size is variable.
+ *   <li><b>Block structure</b>:
+ *       <p>When the postings are long enough, Lucene99PostingsFormat will try 
to encode most
+ *       integer data as a packed block.
+ *       <p>Take a term with 259 documents as an example, the first 256 
document ids are encoded as
+ *       two packed blocks, while the remaining 3 are encoded as one VInt 
block.
+ *       <p>Different kinds of data are always encoded separately into 
different packed blocks, but
+ *       may possibly be interleaved into the same VInt block.
+ *       <p>This strategy is applied to pairs: &lt;document number, 
frequency&gt;, &lt;position,
+ *       payload length&gt;, &lt;position, offset start, offset length&gt;, 
and &lt;position,
+ *       payload length, offsetstart, offset length&gt;.
+ *   <li><b>Skipdata settings</b>:
+ *       <p>The structure of skip table is quite similar to previous version 
of Lucene. Skip
+ *       interval is the same as block size, and each skip entry points to the 
beginning of each
+ *       block. However, for the first block, skip data is omitted.
+ *   <li><b>Positions, Payloads, and Offsets</b>:
+ *       <p>A position is an integer indicating where the term occurs within 
one document. A payload
+ *       is a blob of metadata associated with current position. An offset is 
a pair of integers
+ *       indicating the tokenized start/end offsets for given term in current 
position: it is
+ *       essentially a specialized payload.
+ *       <p>When payloads and offsets are not omitted, 
numPositions==numPayloads==numOffsets
+ *       (assuming a null payload contributes one count). As mentioned in 
block structure, it is
+ *       possible to encode these three either combined or separately.
+ *       <p>In all cases, payloads and offsets are stored together. When 
encoded as a packed block,
+ *       position data is separated out as .pos, while payloads and offsets 
are encoded in .pay
+ *       (payload metadata will also be stored directly in .pay). When encoded 
as VInt blocks, all
+ *       these three are stored interleaved into the .pos (so is payload 
metadata).
+ *       <p>With this strategy, the majority of payload and offset data will 
be outside .pos file.
+ *       So for queries that require only position data, running on a full 
index with payloads and
+ *       offsets, this reduces disk pre-fetches.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Files and detailed format:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><code>.tim</code>: <a href="#Termdictionary">Term Dictionary</a>
+ *   <li><code>.tip</code>: <a href="#Termindex">Term Index</a>
+ *   <li><code>.doc</code>: <a href="#Frequencies">Frequencies and Skip 
Data</a>
+ *   <li><code>.pos</code>: <a href="#Positions">Positions</a>
+ *   <li><code>.pay</code>: <a href="#Payloads">Payloads and Offsets</a>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <a id="Termdictionary"></a>
+ *
+ * <dl>
+ *   <dd><b>Term Dictionary</b>
+ *       <p>The .tim file contains the list of terms in each field along with 
per-term statistics
+ *       (such as docfreq) and pointers to the frequencies, positions, payload 
and skip data in the
+ *       .doc, .pos, and .pay files. See {@link Lucene90BlockTreeTermsWriter} 
for more details on
+ *       the format.
+ *       <p>NOTE: The term dictionary can plug into different postings 
implementations: the postings
+ *       writer/reader are actually responsible for encoding and decoding the 
PostingsHeader and
+ *       TermMetadata sections described here:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PostingsHeader --&gt; Header, PackedBlockSize
+ *         <li>TermMetadata --&gt; (DocFPDelta|SingletonDocID), PosFPDelta?, 
PosVIntBlockFPDelta?,
+ *             PayFPDelta?, SkipFPDelta?
+ *         <li>Header, --&gt; {@link CodecUtil#writeIndexHeader IndexHeader}
+ *         <li>PackedBlockSize, SingletonDocID --&gt; {@link 
DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}
+ *         <li>DocFPDelta, PosFPDelta, PayFPDelta, PosVIntBlockFPDelta, 
SkipFPDelta --&gt; {@link
+ *             DataOutput#writeVLong VLong}
+ *         <li>Footer --&gt; {@link CodecUtil#writeFooter CodecFooter}
+ *       </ul>
+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>Header is a {@link CodecUtil#writeIndexHeader IndexHeader} 
storing the version
+ *             information for the postings.
+ *         <li>PackedBlockSize is the fixed block size for packed blocks. In 
packed block, bit width
+ *             is determined by the largest integer. Smaller block size result 
in smaller variance
+ *             among width of integers hence smaller indexes. Larger block 
size result in more
+ *             efficient bulk i/o hence better acceleration. This value should 
always be a multiple
+ *             of 64, currently fixed as 128 as a tradeoff. It is also the 
skip interval used to
+ *             accelerate {@link 
org.apache.lucene.index.PostingsEnum#advance(int)}.
+ *         <li>DocFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermFreqs 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the difference of file offset between this 
term's data and previous
+ *             term's data (or zero, for the first term in the block).On disk 
it is stored as the
+ *             difference from previous value in sequence.
+ *         <li>PosFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermPositions 
within the .pos file.
+ *             While PayFPDelta determines the position of this term's 
&lt;TermPayloads,
+ *             TermOffsets?&gt; within the .pay file. Similar to DocFPDelta, 
it is the difference
+ *             between two file positions (or neglected, for fields that omit 
payloads and offsets).
+ *         <li>PosVIntBlockFPDelta determines the position of this term's last 
TermPosition in last
+ *             pos packed block within the .pos file. It is synonym for 
PayVIntBlockFPDelta or
+ *             OffsetVIntBlockFPDelta. This is actually used to indicate 
whether it is necessary to
+ *             load following payloads and offsets from .pos instead of .pay. 
Every time a new block
+ *             of positions are to be loaded, the PostingsReader will use this 
value to check
+ *             whether current block is packed format or VInt. When packed 
format, payloads and
+ *             offsets are fetched from .pay, otherwise from .pos. (this value 
is neglected when
+ *             total number of positions i.e. totalTermFreq is less or equal 
to PackedBlockSize).
+ *         <li>SkipFPDelta determines the position of this term's SkipData 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the length of the TermFreq data. SkipDelta is 
only stored if
+ *             DocFreq is not smaller than SkipMinimum (i.e. 128 in 
Lucene99PostingsFormat).
+ *         <li>SingletonDocID is an optimization when a term only appears in 
one document. In this
+ *             case, instead of writing a file pointer to the .doc file 
(DocFPDelta), and then a
+ *             VIntBlock at that location, the single document ID is written 
to the term dictionary.
+ *       </ul>
+ * </dl>
+ *
+ * <a id="Termindex"></a>
+ *
+ * <dl>
+ *   <dd><b>Term Index</b>
+ *       <p>The .tip file contains an index into the term dictionary, so that 
it can be accessed
+ *       randomly. See {@link Lucene90BlockTreeTermsWriter} for more details 
on the format.

term, along with the
+ *       frequency of the term in that document (except when frequencies are 
omitted: {@link
+ *       IndexOptions#DOCS}). It also saves skip data to the beginning of each 
packed or VInt block,

+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PackedDocDeltaBlock is theoretically generated from two steps:
+ *             <ol>
+ *               <li>Calculate the difference between each document number and 
previous one, and get
+ *                   a d-gaps list (for the first document, use absolute 
value);
+ *               <li>For those d-gaps from first one to
+ *                   PackedDocBlockNum*PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup>, 
separately encode as packed
+ *                   blocks.
+ *             </ol>
+ *             If frequencies are not omitted, PackedFreqBlock will be 
generated without d-gap step.
+ *         <li>VIntBlock stores remaining d-gaps (along with frequencies when 
possible) with a
+ *             format that encodes DocDelta and Freq:
+ *             <p>DocDelta: if frequencies are indexed, this determines both 
the document number and
+ *             the frequency. In particular, DocDelta/2 is the difference 
between this document
+ *             number and the previous document number (or zero when this is 
the first document in a
+ *             TermFreqs). When DocDelta is odd, the frequency is one. When 
DocDelta is even, the
+ *             frequency is read as another VInt. If frequencies are omitted, 
DocDelta contains the
+ *             gap (not multiplied by 2) between document numbers and no 
frequency information is
+ *             stored.
+ *             <p>For example, the TermFreqs for a term which occurs once in 
document seven and
+ *             three times in document eleven, with frequencies indexed, would 
be the following
+ *             sequence of VInts:
+ *             <p>15, 8, 3
+ *             <p>If frequencies were omitted ({@link IndexOptions#DOCS}) it 
would be this sequence
+ *             of VInts instead:
+ *             <p>7,4
+ *         <li>PackedDocBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's docids or
+ *             frequencies. In particular, PackedDocBlockNum = 
floor(DocFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>TrimmedDocFreq = DocFreq % PackedBlockSize == 0 ? DocFreq - 1 : 
DocFreq. We use this
+ *             trick since the definition of skip entry is a little different 
from base interface.
+ *             In {@link MultiLevelSkipListWriter}, skip data is assumed to be 
saved for
+ *             skipInterval<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting in the list.
+ *             However, in Lucene99PostingsFormat, the skip data is saved for
+ *             skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting
+ *             (skipInterval==PackedBlockSize in this case). When DocFreq is 
multiple of
+ *             PackedBlockSize, MultiLevelSkipListWriter will expect one more 
skip data than
+ *             Lucene90SkipWriter.
+ *         <li>SkipDatum is the metadata of one skip entry. For the first 
block (no matter packed or
+ *             VInt), it is omitted.
+ *         <li>DocSkip records the document number of every 
PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup> document
+ *             number in the postings (i.e. last document number in each 
packed block). On disk it
+ *             is stored as the difference from previous value in the sequence.
+ *         <li>DocFPSkip records the file offsets of each block (excluding 
)posting at
+ *             PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup>, 
2*PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup> ... , in DocFile.
+ *             The file offsets are relative to the start of current term's 
TermFreqs. On disk it is
+ *             also stored as the difference from previous SkipDatum in the 
sequence.
+ *         <li>Since positions and payloads are also block encoded, the skip 
should skip to related
+ *             block first, then fetch the values according to in-block 
offset. PosFPSkip and
+ *             PayFPSkip record the file offsets of related block in .pos and 
.pay, respectively.
+ *             While PosBlockOffset indicates which value to fetch inside the 
related block
+ *             (PayBlockOffset is unnecessary since it is always equal to 
PosBlockOffset). Same as
+ *             DocFPSkip, the file offsets are relative to the start of 
current term's TermFreqs,
+ *             and stored as a difference sequence.
+ *         <li>PayByteUpto indicates the start offset of the current payload. 
It is equivalent to
+ *             the sum of the payload lengths in the current block up to 
PosBlockOffset
+ *         <li>ImpactLength is the total length of CompetitiveFreqDelta and 
CompetitiveNormDelta
+ *             pairs. CompetitiveFreqDelta and CompetitiveNormDelta are used 
to safely skip score
+ *             calculation for uncompetitive documents; See {@link
+ *             org.apache.lucene.codecs.CompetitiveImpactAccumulator} for more 
details.

+ *       </ul>
+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>TermPositions are order by term (terms are implicit, from the 
term dictionary), and
+ *             position values for each term document pair are incremental, 
and ordered by document
+ *             number.
+ *         <li>PackedPosBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's positions,
+ *             payloads or offsets. In particular, PackedPosBlockNum =
+ *             floor(totalTermFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>PosVIntCount is the number of positions encoded as VInt format. 
In particular,
+ *             PosVIntCount = totalTermFreq - PackedPosBlockNum*PackedBlockSize
+ *         <li>The procedure how PackedPosDeltaBlock is generated is the same 
as PackedDocDeltaBlock
+ *             in chapter <a href="#Frequencies">Frequencies and Skip Data</a>.
+ *         <li>PositionDelta is, if payloads are disabled for the term's 
field, the difference
+ *             between the position of the current occurrence in the document 
and the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If payloads
+ *             are enabled for the term's field, then PositionDelta/2 is the 
difference between the
+ *             current and the previous position. If payloads are enabled and 
PositionDelta is odd,
+ *             then PayloadLength is stored, indicating the length of the 
payload at the current
+ *             term position.
+ *         <li>For example, the TermPositions for a term which occurs as the 
fourth term in one
+ *             document, and as the fifth and ninth term in a subsequent 
document, would be the
+ *             following sequence of VInts (payloads disabled):
+ *             <p>4, 5, 4
+ *         <li>PayloadData is metadata associated with the current term 
position. If PayloadLength
+ *             is stored at the current position, then it indicates the length 
of this payload. If
+ *             PayloadLength is not stored, then this payload has the same 
length as the payload at
+ *             the previous position.
+ *         <li>OffsetDelta/2 is the difference between this position's 
startOffset from the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If
+ *             OffsetDelta is odd, then the length (endOffset-startOffset) 
differs from the previous
+ *             occurrence and an OffsetLength follows. Offset data is only 
written for {@link

+/**
+ * Lucene 5.0 postings format, which encodes postings in packed integer blocks 
for fast decode.
+ *
+ * <p>Basic idea:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Packed Blocks and VInt Blocks</b>:
+ *       <p>In packed blocks, integers are encoded with the same bit width 
({@link PackedInts packed
+ *       format}): the block size (i.e. number of integers inside block) is 
fixed (currently 128).
+ *       Additionally blocks that are all the same value are encoded in an 
optimized way.
+ *       <p>In VInt blocks, integers are encoded as {@link 
DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}: the block
+ *       size is variable.
+ *   <li><b>Block structure</b>:
+ *       <p>When the postings are long enough, Lucene99PostingsFormat will try 
to encode most
+ *       integer data as a packed block.
+ *       <p>Take a term with 259 documents as an example, the first 256 
document ids are encoded as
+ *       two packed blocks, while the remaining 3 are encoded as one VInt 
block.
+ *       <p>Different kinds of data are always encoded separately into 
different packed blocks, but
+ *       may possibly be interleaved into the same VInt block.
+ *       <p>This strategy is applied to pairs: &lt;document number, 
frequency&gt;, &lt;position,
+ *       payload length&gt;, &lt;position, offset start, offset length&gt;, 
and &lt;position,
+ *       payload length, offsetstart, offset length&gt;.
+ *   <li><b>Skipdata settings</b>:
+ *       <p>The structure of skip table is quite similar to previous version 
of Lucene. Skip
+ *       interval is the same as block size, and each skip entry points to the 
beginning of each
+ *       block. However, for the first block, skip data is omitted.
+ *   <li><b>Positions, Payloads, and Offsets</b>:
+ *       <p>A position is an integer indicating where the term occurs within 
one document. A payload
+ *       is a blob of metadata associated with current position. An offset is 
a pair of integers
+ *       indicating the tokenized start/end offsets for given term in current 
position: it is
+ *       essentially a specialized payload.
+ *       <p>When payloads and offsets are not omitted, 
numPositions==numPayloads==numOffsets
+ *       (assuming a null payload contributes one count). As mentioned in 
block structure, it is
+ *       possible to encode these three either combined or separately.
+ *       <p>In all cases, payloads and offsets are stored together. When 
encoded as a packed block,
+ *       position data is separated out as .pos, while payloads and offsets 
are encoded in .pay
+ *       (payload metadata will also be stored directly in .pay). When encoded 
as VInt blocks, all
+ *       these three are stored interleaved into the .pos (so is payload 
metadata).
+ *       <p>With this strategy, the majority of payload and offset data will 
be outside .pos file.
+ *       So for queries that require only position data, running on a full 
index with payloads and
+ *       offsets, this reduces disk pre-fetches.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Files and detailed format:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><code>.tim</code>: <a href="#Termdictionary">Term Dictionary</a>
+ *   <li><code>.tip</code>: <a href="#Termindex">Term Index</a>

Data</a>
+ *   <li><code>.pos</code>: <a href="#Positions">Positions</a>
+ *   <li><code>.pay</code>: <a href="#Payloads">Payloads and Offsets</a>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <a id="Termdictionary"></a>
+ *
+ * <dl>
+ *   <dd><b>Term Dictionary</b>
+ *       <p>The .tim file contains the list of terms in each field along with 
per-term statistics
+ *       (such as docfreq) and pointers to the frequencies, positions, payload 
and skip data in the
+ *       .doc, .pos, and .pay files. See {@link Lucene90BlockTreeTermsWriter} 
for more details on
+ *       the format.
+ *       <p>NOTE: The term dictionary can plug into different postings 
implementations: the postings
+ *       writer/reader are actually responsible for encoding and decoding the 
PostingsHeader and
+ *       TermMetadata sections described here:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PostingsHeader --&gt; Header, PackedBlockSize
+ *         <li>TermMetadata --&gt; (DocFPDelta|SingletonDocID), PosFPDelta?, 
PosVIntBlockFPDelta?,

+ *         <li>Footer --&gt; {@link CodecUtil#writeFooter CodecFooter}
+ *       </ul>
+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>Header is a {@link CodecUtil#writeIndexHeader IndexHeader} 
storing the version
+ *             information for the postings.
+ *         <li>PackedBlockSize is the fixed block size for packed blocks. In 
packed block, bit width
+ *             is determined by the largest integer. Smaller block size result 
in smaller variance
+ *             among width of integers hence smaller indexes. Larger block 
size result in more
+ *             efficient bulk i/o hence better acceleration. This value should 
always be a multiple
+ *             of 64, currently fixed as 128 as a tradeoff. It is also the 
skip interval used to
+ *             accelerate {@link 
org.apache.lucene.index.PostingsEnum#advance(int)}.
+ *         <li>DocFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermFreqs 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the difference of file offset between this 
term's data and previous
+ *             term's data (or zero, for the first term in the block).On disk 
it is stored as the
+ *             difference from previous value in sequence.
+ *         <li>PosFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermPositions 
within the .pos file.
+ *             While PayFPDelta determines the position of this term's 
&lt;TermPayloads,
+ *             TermOffsets?&gt; within the .pay file. Similar to DocFPDelta, 
it is the difference
+ *             between two file positions (or neglected, for fields that omit 
payloads and offsets).
+ *         <li>PosVIntBlockFPDelta determines the position of this term's last 
TermPosition in last
+ *             pos packed block within the .pos file. It is synonym for 
PayVIntBlockFPDelta or
+ *             OffsetVIntBlockFPDelta. This is actually used to indicate 
whether it is necessary to
+ *             load following payloads and offsets from .pos instead of .pay. 
Every time a new block
+ *             of positions are to be loaded, the PostingsReader will use this 
value to check
+ *             whether current block is packed format or VInt. When packed 
format, payloads and
+ *             offsets are fetched from .pay, otherwise from .pos. (this value 
is neglected when
+ *             total number of positions i.e. totalTermFreq is less or equal 
to PackedBlockSize).
+ *         <li>SkipFPDelta determines the position of this term's SkipData 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the length of the TermFreq data. SkipDelta is 
only stored if
+ *             DocFreq is not smaller than SkipMinimum (i.e. 128 in 
Lucene99PostingsFormat).
+ *         <li>SingletonDocID is an optimization when a term only appears in 
one document. In this
+ *             case, instead of writing a file pointer to the .doc file 
(DocFPDelta), and then a
+ *             VIntBlock at that location, the single document ID is written 
to the term dictionary.

on the format.

term, along with the
+ *       frequency of the term in that document (except when frequencies are 
omitted: {@link
+ *       IndexOptions#DOCS}). It also saves skip data to the beginning of each 
packed or VInt block,

+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PackedDocDeltaBlock is theoretically generated from two steps:
+ *             <ol>
+ *               <li>Calculate the difference between each document number and 
previous one, and get
+ *                   a d-gaps list (for the first document, use absolute 
value);
+ *               <li>For those d-gaps from first one to
+ *                   PackedDocBlockNum*PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup>, 
separately encode as packed
+ *                   blocks.
+ *             </ol>
+ *             If frequencies are not omitted, PackedFreqBlock will be 
generated without d-gap step.
+ *         <li>VIntBlock stores remaining d-gaps (along with frequencies when 
possible) with a
+ *             format that encodes DocDelta and Freq:
+ *             <p>DocDelta: if frequencies are indexed, this determines both 
the document number and
+ *             the frequency. In particular, DocDelta/2 is the difference 
between this document
+ *             number and the previous document number (or zero when this is 
the first document in a
+ *             TermFreqs). When DocDelta is odd, the frequency is one. When 
DocDelta is even, the
+ *             frequency is read as another VInt. If frequencies are omitted, 
DocDelta contains the
+ *             gap (not multiplied by 2) between document numbers and no 
frequency information is
+ *             stored.
+ *             <p>For example, the TermFreqs for a term which occurs once in 
document seven and
+ *             three times in document eleven, with frequencies indexed, would 
be the following
+ *             sequence of VInts:
+ *             <p>15, 8, 3
+ *             <p>If frequencies were omitted ({@link IndexOptions#DOCS}) it 
would be this sequence
+ *             of VInts instead:
+ *             <p>7,4
+ *         <li>PackedDocBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's docids or
+ *             frequencies. In particular, PackedDocBlockNum = 
floor(DocFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>TrimmedDocFreq = DocFreq % PackedBlockSize == 0 ? DocFreq - 1 : 
DocFreq. We use this
+ *             trick since the definition of skip entry is a little different 
from base interface.
+ *             In {@link MultiLevelSkipListWriter}, skip data is assumed to be 
saved for
+ *             skipInterval<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting in the list.
+ *             However, in Lucene99PostingsFormat, the skip data is saved for
+ *             skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting
+ *             (skipInterval==PackedBlockSize in this case). When DocFreq is 
multiple of
+ *             PackedBlockSize, MultiLevelSkipListWriter will expect one more 
skip data than
+ *             Lucene90SkipWriter.
+ *         <li>SkipDatum is the metadata of one skip entry. For the first 
block (no matter packed or
+ *             VInt), it is omitted.
+ *         <li>DocSkip records the document number of every 
PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup> document
+ *             number in the postings (i.e. last document number in each 
packed block). On disk it
+ *             is stored as the difference from previous value in the sequence.
+ *         <li>DocFPSkip records the file offsets of each block (excluding 
)posting at
+ *             PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup>, 
2*PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup> ... , in DocFile.
+ *             The file offsets are relative to the start of current term's 
TermFreqs. On disk it is
+ *             also stored as the difference from previous SkipDatum in the 
sequence.
+ *         <li>Since positions and payloads are also block encoded, the skip 
should skip to related
+ *             block first, then fetch the values according to in-block 
offset. PosFPSkip and
+ *             PayFPSkip record the file offsets of related block in .pos and 
.pay, respectively.
+ *             While PosBlockOffset indicates which value to fetch inside the 
related block
+ *             (PayBlockOffset is unnecessary since it is always equal to 
PosBlockOffset). Same as
+ *             DocFPSkip, the file offsets are relative to the start of 
current term's TermFreqs,
+ *             and stored as a difference sequence.
+ *         <li>PayByteUpto indicates the start offset of the current payload. 
It is equivalent to
+ *             the sum of the payload lengths in the current block up to 
PosBlockOffset
+ *         <li>ImpactLength is the total length of CompetitiveFreqDelta and 
CompetitiveNormDelta
+ *             pairs. CompetitiveFreqDelta and CompetitiveNormDelta are used 
to safely skip score
+ *             calculation for uncompetitive documents; See {@link

term dictionary), and

and ordered by document
+ *             number.
+ *         <li>PackedPosBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's positions,
+ *             payloads or offsets. In particular, PackedPosBlockNum =
+ *             floor(totalTermFreq/PackedBlockSize)

In particular,

as PackedDocDeltaBlock
+ *             in chapter <a href="#Frequencies">Frequencies and Skip Data</a>.

field, the difference
+ *             between the position of the current occurrence in the document 
and the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If payloads
+ *             are enabled for the term's field, then PositionDelta/2 is the 
difference between the
+ *             current and the previous position. If payloads are enabled and 
PositionDelta is odd,
+ *             then PayloadLength is stored, indicating the length of the 
payload at the current
+ *             term position.
+ *         <li>For example, the TermPositions for a term which occurs as the 
fourth term in one
+ *             document, and as the fifth and ninth term in a subsequent 
document, would be the
+ *             following sequence of VInts (payloads disabled):
+ *             <p>4, 5, 4
+ *         <li>PayloadData is metadata associated with the current term 
position. If PayloadLength
+ *             is stored at the current position, then it indicates the length 
of this payload. If
+ *             PayloadLength is not stored, then this payload has the same 
length as the payload at
+ *             the previous position.
+ *         <li>OffsetDelta/2 is the difference between this position's 
startOffset from the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If
+ *             OffsetDelta is odd, then the length (endOffset-startOffset) 
differs from the previous

+/**
+ * Lucene 5.0 postings format, which encodes postings in packed integer blocks 
for fast decode.
+ *
+ * <p>Basic idea:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Packed Blocks and VInt Blocks</b>:
+ *       <p>In packed blocks, integers are encoded with the same bit width 
({@link PackedInts packed
+ *       format}): the block size (i.e. number of integers inside block) is 
fixed (currently 128).
+ *       Additionally blocks that are all the same value are encoded in an 
optimized way.
+ *       <p>In VInt blocks, integers are encoded as {@link 
DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}: the block
+ *       size is variable.
+ *   <li><b>Block structure</b>:
+ *       <p>When the postings are long enough, Lucene99PostingsFormat will try 
to encode most
+ *       integer data as a packed block.
+ *       <p>Take a term with 259 documents as an example, the first 256 
document ids are encoded as
+ *       two packed blocks, while the remaining 3 are encoded as one VInt 
block.
+ *       <p>Different kinds of data are always encoded separately into 
different packed blocks, but
+ *       may possibly be interleaved into the same VInt block.
+ *       <p>This strategy is applied to pairs: &lt;document number, 
frequency&gt;, &lt;position,
+ *       payload length&gt;, &lt;position, offset start, offset length&gt;, 
and &lt;position,
+ *       payload length, offsetstart, offset length&gt;.
+ *   <li><b>Skipdata settings</b>:
+ *       <p>The structure of skip table is quite similar to previous version 
of Lucene. Skip
+ *       interval is the same as block size, and each skip entry points to the 
beginning of each
+ *       block. However, for the first block, skip data is omitted.
+ *   <li><b>Positions, Payloads, and Offsets</b>:
+ *       <p>A position is an integer indicating where the term occurs within 
one document. A payload
+ *       is a blob of metadata associated with current position. An offset is 
a pair of integers
+ *       indicating the tokenized start/end offsets for given term in current 
position: it is
+ *       essentially a specialized payload.
+ *       <p>When payloads and offsets are not omitted, 
numPositions==numPayloads==numOffsets
+ *       (assuming a null payload contributes one count). As mentioned in 
block structure, it is
+ *       possible to encode these three either combined or separately.
+ *       <p>In all cases, payloads and offsets are stored together. When 
encoded as a packed block,
+ *       position data is separated out as .pos, while payloads and offsets 
are encoded in .pay
+ *       (payload metadata will also be stored directly in .pay). When encoded 
as VInt blocks, all
+ *       these three are stored interleaved into the .pos (so is payload 
metadata).
+ *       <p>With this strategy, the majority of payload and offset data will 
be outside .pos file.
+ *       So for queries that require only position data, running on a full 
index with payloads and
+ *       offsets, this reduces disk pre-fetches.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Files and detailed format:

storing the version
+ *             information for the postings.
+ *         <li>PackedBlockSize is the fixed block size for packed blocks. In 
packed block, bit width
+ *             is determined by the largest integer. Smaller block size result 
in smaller variance
+ *             among width of integers hence smaller indexes. Larger block 
size result in more

skip interval used to
+ *             accelerate {@link 
org.apache.lucene.index.PostingsEnum#advance(int)}.
+ *         <li>DocFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermFreqs 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the difference of file offset between this 
term's data and previous
+ *             term's data (or zero, for the first term in the block).On disk 
it is stored as the
+ *             difference from previous value in sequence.
+ *         <li>PosFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermPositions 
within the .pos file.
+ *             While PayFPDelta determines the position of this term's 
&lt;TermPayloads,
+ *             TermOffsets?&gt; within the .pay file. Similar to DocFPDelta, 
it is the difference
+ *             between two file positions (or neglected, for fields that omit 
payloads and offsets).
+ *         <li>PosVIntBlockFPDelta determines the position of this term's last 
TermPosition in last
+ *             pos packed block within the .pos file. It is synonym for 
PayVIntBlockFPDelta or
+ *             OffsetVIntBlockFPDelta. This is actually used to indicate 
whether it is necessary to
+ *             load following payloads and offsets from .pos instead of .pay. 
Every time a new block
+ *             of positions are to be loaded, the PostingsReader will use this 
value to check
+ *             whether current block is packed format or VInt. When packed 
format, payloads and
+ *             offsets are fetched from .pay, otherwise from .pos. (this value 
is neglected when
+ *             total number of positions i.e. totalTermFreq is less or equal 
to PackedBlockSize).
+ *         <li>SkipFPDelta determines the position of this term's SkipData 
within the .doc file. In
+ *             particular, it is the length of the TermFreq data. SkipDelta is 
only stored if
+ *             DocFreq is not smaller than SkipMinimum (i.e. 128 in 
Lucene99PostingsFormat).
+ *         <li>SingletonDocID is an optimization when a term only appears in 
one document. In this
+ *             case, instead of writing a file pointer to the .doc file 
(DocFPDelta), and then a
+ *             VIntBlock at that location, the single document ID is written 
to the term dictionary.

+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PackedDocDeltaBlock is theoretically generated from two steps:
+ *             <ol>
+ *               <li>Calculate the difference between each document number and 
previous one, and get
+ *                   a d-gaps list (for the first document, use absolute 
value);
+ *               <li>For those d-gaps from first one to
+ *                   PackedDocBlockNum*PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup>, 
separately encode as packed
+ *                   blocks.
+ *             </ol>
+ *             If frequencies are not omitted, PackedFreqBlock will be 
generated without d-gap step.
+ *         <li>VIntBlock stores remaining d-gaps (along with frequencies when 
possible) with a
+ *             format that encodes DocDelta and Freq:
+ *             <p>DocDelta: if frequencies are indexed, this determines both 
the document number and
+ *             the frequency. In particular, DocDelta/2 is the difference 
between this document
+ *             number and the previous document number (or zero when this is 
the first document in a
+ *             TermFreqs). When DocDelta is odd, the frequency is one. When 
DocDelta is even, the
+ *             frequency is read as another VInt. If frequencies are omitted, 
DocDelta contains the
+ *             gap (not multiplied by 2) between document numbers and no 
frequency information is
+ *             stored.
+ *             <p>For example, the TermFreqs for a term which occurs once in 
document seven and
+ *             three times in document eleven, with frequencies indexed, would 
be the following
+ *             sequence of VInts:
+ *             <p>15, 8, 3
+ *             <p>If frequencies were omitted ({@link IndexOptions#DOCS}) it 
would be this sequence
+ *             of VInts instead:
+ *             <p>7,4
+ *         <li>PackedDocBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's docids or
+ *             frequencies. In particular, PackedDocBlockNum = 
floor(DocFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>TrimmedDocFreq = DocFreq % PackedBlockSize == 0 ? DocFreq - 1 : 
DocFreq. We use this
+ *             trick since the definition of skip entry is a little different 
from base interface.
+ *             In {@link MultiLevelSkipListWriter}, skip data is assumed to be 
saved for
+ *             skipInterval<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting in the list.
+ *             However, in Lucene99PostingsFormat, the skip data is saved for
+ *             skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting
+ *             (skipInterval==PackedBlockSize in this case). When DocFreq is 
multiple of
+ *             PackedBlockSize, MultiLevelSkipListWriter will expect one more 
skip data than
+ *             Lucene90SkipWriter.

+/**
+ * Lucene 5.0 postings format, which encodes postings in packed integer blocks 
for fast decode.
+ *
+ * <p>Basic idea:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Packed Blocks and VInt Blocks</b>:
+ *       <p>In packed blocks, integers are encoded with the same bit width 
({@link PackedInts packed
+ *       format}): the block size (i.e. number of integers inside block) is 
fixed (currently 128).
+ *       Additionally blocks that are all the same value are encoded in an 
optimized way.
+ *       <p>In VInt blocks, integers are encoded as {@link 
DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}: the block
+ *       size is variable.
+ *   <li><b>Block structure</b>:
+ *       <p>When the postings are long enough, Lucene99PostingsFormat will try 
to encode most
+ *       integer data as a packed block.
+ *       <p>Take a term with 259 documents as an example, the first 256 
document ids are encoded as
+ *       two packed blocks, while the remaining 3 are encoded as one VInt 
block.
+ *       <p>Different kinds of data are always encoded separately into 
different packed blocks, but
+ *       may possibly be interleaved into the same VInt block.
+ *       <p>This strategy is applied to pairs: &lt;document number, 
frequency&gt;, &lt;position,
+ *       payload length&gt;, &lt;position, offset start, offset length&gt;, 
and &lt;position,
+ *       payload length, offsetstart, offset length&gt;.
+ *   <li><b>Skipdata settings</b>:
+ *       <p>The structure of skip table is quite similar to previous version 
of Lucene. Skip
+ *       interval is the same as block size, and each skip entry points to the 
beginning of each
+ *       block. However, for the first block, skip data is omitted.
+ *   <li><b>Positions, Payloads, and Offsets</b>:
+ *       <p>A position is an integer indicating where the term occurs within 
one document. A payload
+ *       is a blob of metadata associated with current position. An offset is 
a pair of integers
+ *       indicating the tokenized start/end offsets for given term in current 
position: it is
+ *       essentially a specialized payload.
+ *       <p>When payloads and offsets are not omitted, 
numPositions==numPayloads==numOffsets
+ *       (assuming a null payload contributes one count). As mentioned in 
block structure, it is
+ *       possible to encode these three either combined or separately.
+ *       <p>In all cases, payloads and offsets are stored together. When 
encoded as a packed block,
+ *       position data is separated out as .pos, while payloads and offsets 
are encoded in .pay
+ *       (payload metadata will also be stored directly in .pay). When encoded 
as VInt blocks, all
+ *       these three are stored interleaved into the .pos (so is payload 
metadata).
+ *       <p>With this strategy, the majority of payload and offset data will 
be outside .pos file.
+ *       So for queries that require only position data, running on a full 
index with payloads and
+ *       offsets, this reduces disk pre-fetches.
+ * </ul>

+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>PackedDocDeltaBlock is theoretically generated from two steps:
+ *             <ol>
+ *               <li>Calculate the difference between each document number and 
previous one, and get
+ *                   a d-gaps list (for the first document, use absolute 
value);
+ *               <li>For those d-gaps from first one to
+ *                   PackedDocBlockNum*PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup>, 
separately encode as packed
+ *                   blocks.
+ *             </ol>
+ *             If frequencies are not omitted, PackedFreqBlock will be 
generated without d-gap step.
+ *         <li>VIntBlock stores remaining d-gaps (along with frequencies when 
possible) with a
+ *             format that encodes DocDelta and Freq:
+ *             <p>DocDelta: if frequencies are indexed, this determines both 
the document number and
+ *             the frequency. In particular, DocDelta/2 is the difference 
between this document
+ *             number and the previous document number (or zero when this is 
the first document in a
+ *             TermFreqs). When DocDelta is odd, the frequency is one. When 
DocDelta is even, the
+ *             frequency is read as another VInt. If frequencies are omitted, 
DocDelta contains the
+ *             gap (not multiplied by 2) between document numbers and no 
frequency information is
+ *             stored.
+ *             <p>For example, the TermFreqs for a term which occurs once in 
document seven and
+ *             three times in document eleven, with frequencies indexed, would 
be the following
+ *             sequence of VInts:
+ *             <p>15, 8, 3
+ *             <p>If frequencies were omitted ({@link IndexOptions#DOCS}) it 
would be this sequence
+ *             of VInts instead:
+ *             <p>7,4
+ *         <li>PackedDocBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's docids or
+ *             frequencies. In particular, PackedDocBlockNum = 
floor(DocFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>TrimmedDocFreq = DocFreq % PackedBlockSize == 0 ? DocFreq - 1 : 
DocFreq. We use this
+ *             trick since the definition of skip entry is a little different 
from base interface.
+ *             In {@link MultiLevelSkipListWriter}, skip data is assumed to be 
saved for
+ *             skipInterval<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting in the list.
+ *             However, in Lucene99PostingsFormat, the skip data is saved for
+ *             skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup> ... 
posting
+ *             (skipInterval==PackedBlockSize in this case). When DocFreq is 
multiple of
+ *             PackedBlockSize, MultiLevelSkipListWriter will expect one more 
skip data than
+ *             Lucene90SkipWriter.
+ *         <li>SkipDatum is the metadata of one skip entry. For the first 
block (no matter packed or
+ *             VInt), it is omitted.
+ *         <li>DocSkip records the document number of every 
PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup> document
+ *             number in the postings (i.e. last document number in each 
packed block). On disk it
+ *             is stored as the difference from previous value in the sequence.
+ *         <li>DocFPSkip records the file offsets of each block (excluding 
)posting at
+ *             PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup>, 
2*PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup> ... , in DocFile.
+ *             The file offsets are relative to the start of current term's 
TermFreqs. On disk it is
+ *             also stored as the difference from previous SkipDatum in the 
sequence.
+ *         <li>Since positions and payloads are also block encoded, the skip 
should skip to related
+ *             block first, then fetch the values according to in-block 
offset. PosFPSkip and
+ *             PayFPSkip record the file offsets of related block in .pos and 
.pay, respectively.
+ *             While PosBlockOffset indicates which value to fetch inside the 
related block
+ *             (PayBlockOffset is unnecessary since it is always equal to 
PosBlockOffset). Same as
+ *             DocFPSkip, the file offsets are relative to the start of 
current term's TermFreqs,
+ *             and stored as a difference sequence.
+ *         <li>PayByteUpto indicates the start offset of the current payload. 
It is equivalent to
+ *             the sum of the payload lengths in the current block up to 
PosBlockOffset
+ *         <li>ImpactLength is the total length of CompetitiveFreqDelta and 
CompetitiveNormDelta
+ *             pairs. CompetitiveFreqDelta and CompetitiveNormDelta are used 
to safely skip score
+ *             calculation for uncompetitive documents; See {@link
+ *             org.apache.lucene.codecs.CompetitiveImpactAccumulator} for more 
details.

+ *       <p>Notes:
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>TermPositions are order by term (terms are implicit, from the 
term dictionary), and
+ *             position values for each term document pair are incremental, 
and ordered by document
+ *             number.
+ *         <li>PackedPosBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current 
term's positions,
+ *             payloads or offsets. In particular, PackedPosBlockNum =
+ *             floor(totalTermFreq/PackedBlockSize)
+ *         <li>PosVIntCount is the number of positions encoded as VInt format. 
In particular,
+ *             PosVIntCount = totalTermFreq - PackedPosBlockNum*PackedBlockSize
+ *         <li>The procedure how PackedPosDeltaBlock is generated is the same 
as PackedDocDeltaBlock
+ *             in chapter <a href="#Frequencies">Frequencies and Skip Data</a>.
+ *         <li>PositionDelta is, if payloads are disabled for the term's 
field, the difference
+ *             between the position of the current occurrence in the document 
and the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If payloads
+ *             are enabled for the term's field, then PositionDelta/2 is the 
difference between the
+ *             current and the previous position. If payloads are enabled and 
PositionDelta is odd,
+ *             then PayloadLength is stored, indicating the length of the 
payload at the current
+ *             term position.
+ *         <li>For example, the TermPositions for a term which occurs as the 
fourth term in one
+ *             document, and as the fifth and ninth term in a subsequent 
document, would be the
+ *             following sequence of VInts (payloads disabled):
+ *             <p>4, 5, 4
+ *         <li>PayloadData is metadata associated with the current term 
position. If PayloadLength
+ *             is stored at the current position, then it indicates the length 
of this payload. If
+ *             PayloadLength is not stored, then this payload has the same 
length as the payload at
+ *             the previous position.
+ *         <li>OffsetDelta/2 is the difference between this position's 
startOffset from the previous
+ *             occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this 
document). If
+ *             OffsetDelta is odd, then the length (endOffset-startOffset) 
differs from the previous
+ *             occurrence and an OffsetLength follows. Offset data is only 
written for {@link
