> Spinoff from LUCENE-1410.
> The flex DocsEnum has a simple bulk-read API that reads the next chunk
> of docs/freqs. But it's a poor fit for intblock codecs like FOR/PFOR
> (from LUCENE-1410). This is not unlike sucking coffee through those
> tiny plastic coffee stirrers they hand out airplanes that,
> surprisingly, also happen to function as a straw.
> As a result we see no perf gain from using FOR/PFOR.
> I had hacked up a fix for this, described at in my blog post at
> http://chbits.blogspot.com/2010/08/lucene-performance-with-pfordelta-codec.html
> I'm opening this issue to get that work to a committable point.
> So... I've worked out a new bulk-read API to address performance
> bottleneck. It has some big changes over the current bulk-read API:
> * You can now also bulk-read positions (but not payloads), but, I
> have yet to cutover positional queries.
> * The buffer contains doc deltas, not absolute values, for docIDs
> and positions (freqs are absolute).
> * Deleted docs are not filtered out.
> * The doc & freq buffers need not be "aligned". For fixed intblock
> codecs (FOR/PFOR) they will be, but for varint codecs (Simple9/16,
> Group varint, etc.) they won't be.
> It's still a work in progress...
