[jira] [Created] (LUCENE-7589) Prevent outliers from raising the number of bits of everyone with numeric doc values

Adrien Grand created LUCENE-7589:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Prevent outliers from raising the number of bits of everyone with numeric doc values
                 Key: LUCENE-7589
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7589
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Assignee: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Minor


Today we encode entire segments with a single number of bits per value. It was done this way because it was faster, but it also means a single outlier can significantly increase the space requirements. I think we should have protection against that.
