[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-5688) NumericDocValues fields with sparse data can be compressed better

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5688?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Varun Thacker updated LUCENE-5688:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-5688.patch

Here is a quick patch. Wanted to get some feedback on the approach.

When I run  the showIndexBloat method without the SPARSE_COMPRESSED changes, this is the size of the docValues data - 
{noformat}
-rw-r--r--  1 varun  wheel   9.9M May 20 18:28 _a_Lucene45_0.dvd
-rw-r--r--  1 varun  wheel   312B May 20 18:28 _a_Lucene45_0.dvm
{noformat}

With the SPARSE_COMPRESSED changes
{noformat}
-rw-r--r--  1 varun  wheel   2.7M May 20 18:51 _a_Lucene45_0.dvd
-rw-r--r--  1 varun  wheel   352B May 20 18:51 _a_Lucene45_0.dvm
{noformat}

> I ran into this problem where I had a dynamic field in Solr and indexed data into lots of fields. For each field only a few documents had actual values and the remaining documents the default value ( 0 ) got indexed. Now when I merge segments, the index size jumps up.
> For example I have 10 segments - Each with 1 DV field. When I merge segments into 1 that segment will contain all 10 DV fields with lots if 0s. 
> This was the motivation behind trying to come up with a compression for a use case like this.
