FixedIntBlockIndexOutput encodes unnecessary integers at the end of a list

                 Key: LUCENE-2340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2340
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
    Affects Versions: Flex Branch
            Reporter: Renaud Delbru
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Flex Branch


At closing time, the current FixedIntBlockIndexOutput flushes blocks of 
blockSize even if there is only a few integers in the block.
This can be problematic and causes a big overhead when using large blockSize 
(e.g., 1024), on small segments or on rare term posting list. 

One solution will be to have a secondary flushBlock method with an additional 
paramter: the valid length of a buffer. This method will be only called in the 
FixedIntBlockIndexOutput#close() method.
The way this particular block of integers are encoded are left to subclasses.
