[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2648) Allow PackedInts.ReaderIterator to advance more than one value

["Simon Willnauer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12910516#action_12910516 ] 

Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2648:
-----------------------------------------

Since this API is new in 4.0 I wonder if we should then rename it to PackedIntsEnum or PackedIntsIterator since ReaderIterator is a very general term. Another option would be to just name it Iterator since it already has a name context because its an inner class.

> The iterator-like API in LUCENE-2186 makes effective use of PackedInts.ReaderIterator but frequently skips multiple values. ReaderIterator currently requires to loop over ReaderInterator#next() to advance to a certain value. We should allow ReaderIterator to expose a #advance(ord) method to make use-cases like that more efficient. 
> This issue is somewhat part of my efforts to make LUCENE-2186 smaller while breaking it up in little issues for parts which can be generally useful.
