Greg Miller commented on LUCENE-10033:
--------------------------------------
[~weizijun] thanks for providing the updated results! Keeping in mind that
there's a diverse set of use-cases for Lucene, and many consider performance to
be critical (e.g., QPS, latency), I wouldn't be in favor of a change to the
default codec that results in a ~50% regression, even if it does show better
index size compression. I'm not sure if we have a repository of "alternative"
type codecs that you might consider contributing to (i.e., creating or
contributing to an alternative codec that heavily favors index size over
decoding performance), but [~jpountz] would know better and could probably
offer some advice there. Thanks again for experimenting with this though!
Interesting to see the results!

> Our current approach for doc values uses large blocks of 16k values where
> values can be decompressed independently, using DirectWriter/DirectReader.
> This is a bit inefficient in some cases, e.g. a single outlier can grow the
> number of bits per value for the entire block, we can't easily use run-length
> compression, etc. Plus, it encourages using a different sub-class for every
> compression technique, which puts pressure on the JVM.
> We'd like to move to an approach that would be more similar to postings with
> smaller blocks (e.g. 128 values) whose values get all decompressed at once
> (using SIMD instructions), with skip data within blocks in order to
> efficiently skip to arbitrary doc IDs (or maybe still use jump tables as
> today's doc values, and as discussed here for postings:
