Class LegacyDirectWriter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.backward_codecs.packed.LegacyDirectWriter

public final class LegacyDirectWriter
extends Object

Class for writing packed integers to be directly read from Directory. Integers can be read on-the-fly via LegacyDirectReader.

Unlike PackedInts, it optimizes for read i/o operations and supports > 2B values. Example usage:

   int bitsPerValue = LegacyDirectWriter.bitsRequired(100); // values up to and including 100
   IndexOutput output = dir.createOutput("packed", IOContext.DEFAULT);
   DirectWriter writer = LegacyDirectWriter.getInstance(output, numberOfValues, bitsPerValue);
   for (int i = 0; i < numberOfValues; i++) {
     writer.add(value);
   }
   writer.finish();
   output.close();
