   # Description
   
   This change allows PForUtil to encode up to 7 exceptions per encoded block 
(instead of the 3 allowed today) in order to reduce index size.
   
   # Solution
   
   I tested the impact of 7 exceptions vs. 3 using a new tool I wrote to 
directly inspect the contents of PFOR encoded index blocks (details in the 
Jira) as well as inspected overall index size reduction. I also tested QPS 
impact using luceneutil benchmark tools. All details are in the Jira issue.
   
   Note that this change should be fully backwards compatible, even though I 
don't think that needs to be a requirement. Details of this are also mentioned 
in the Jira issue.
   
   # Tests
   
   All existing tests pass. No new tests seemed necessary as TestPForUtil 
already exercises the code.
