Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-1410:
--------------------------------------
I think the mixed performance results for decompression and query times may be
caused by the use of only a single method. For very short sequences (1 to 2 or
3 integers), I would expect VInt (actually VByte) to perform best. For long
sequences (from about 25 integers) , (P)FOR should do best. In between the two,
(a variant of) S9.
The problem will be to find the optimal bordering sequence sizes to change the
compression method.
The fact that S9 is already doing better than VInt is encouraging. Since (P)FOR
can do even better than S9, when using (P)FOR only for longer sequences, I'd
expect a real performance boost for queries using frequently occurring terms in
the index.
Also, I'd recommend to verify query results for each method. S9 as I
implemented it is only tested by its own test cases.
When the query results are incorrect, measuring performance is not really
useful, and this has happened already for the PFOR implementation here, see
above in early October 2008.
