             Summary: All PackedInts APIs should share a common interface for random-access reads
                 Key: LUCENE-5301
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5301
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Assignee: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Minor


It would be convenient if all PackedInts had a super-class with the {{long get(long index)}} method. Maybe this super-class could even be NumericDocValues so that doc values formats don't need to wrap eg. BlockPackedReader into this kind of construct:
{code}
        final BlockPackedReader reader = new BlockPackedReader(data, entry.packedIntsVersion, entry.blockSize, entry.count, true);
        return new LongNumericDocValues() {
          @Override
          public long get(long id) {
            return reader.get(id);
          }
        };
{code}

Instead, they could just
{code}
        return new BlockPackedReader(data, entry.packedIntsVersion, entry.blockSize, entry.count, true);
{code}
