Package org.apache.lucene.util.packed

Packed integer arrays and streams.

See:
          Description

Interface Summary
PackedInts.Decoder A decoder for packed integers.
PackedInts.Encoder An encoder for packed integers.
PackedInts.Mutable A packed integer array that can be modified.
PackedInts.Reader A read-only random access array of positive integers.
PackedInts.ReaderIterator Run-once iterator interface, to decode previously saved PackedInts.
 

Class Summary
AppendingLongBuffer Utility class to buffer a list of signed longs in memory.
BlockPackedReader Provides random access to a stream written with BlockPackedWriter.
BlockPackedReaderIterator Reader for sequences of longs written with BlockPackedWriter.
BlockPackedWriter A writer for large sequences of longs.
GrowableWriter Implements PackedInts.Mutable, but grows the bit count of the underlying packed ints on-demand.
MonotonicAppendingLongBuffer Utility class to buffer signed longs in memory, which is optimized for the case where the sequence is monotonic, although it can encode any sequence of arbitrary longs.
MonotonicBlockPackedReader Provides random access to a stream written with MonotonicBlockPackedWriter.
MonotonicBlockPackedWriter A writer for large monotonically increasing sequences of positive longs.
PackedDataInput A DataInput wrapper to read unaligned, variable-length packed integers.
PackedDataOutput A DataOutput wrapper to write unaligned, variable-length packed integers.
PackedInts Simplistic compression for array of unsigned long values.
PackedInts.FormatAndBits Simple class that holds a format and a number of bits per value.
PackedInts.Header Header identifying the structure of a packed integer array.
PackedInts.NullReader A PackedInts.Reader which has all its values equal to 0 (bitsPerValue = 0).
PackedInts.Writer A write-once Writer.
 

Enum Summary
PackedInts.Format A format to write packed ints.
 

Package org.apache.lucene.util.packed Description

Packed integer arrays and streams.

The packed package provides

The implementations provide different trade-offs between memory usage and access speed. The standard usage scenario is replacing large int or long arrays in order to reduce the memory footprint.

The main access point is the PackedInts factory.
