             Summary: Assert that ForUtil.BLOCK_SIZE can be encoded in a single byte in PForUtil
                 Key: LUCENE-9822
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9822
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core/codecs
    Affects Versions: master (9.0)
            Reporter: Greg Miller


PForUtil assumes that ForUtil.BLOCK_SIZE can be encoded in a single byte when generating "patch offsets". If this assumption doesn't hold, PForUtil will silently encode incorrect positions. While the BLOCK_SIZE isn't particularly configurable, it would be nice to assert this assumption early in PForUtil in the even that the BLOCK_SIZE changes in some future codec version.
