   Thanks @uschindler .
   
   > I don't fully understand the variant that supports negative values. Do we 
still need it as the default one again supports negative values. The code looks 
slightly different with the additional check at end.
   
   This is specialized because`DataInput`'s vlong uses the 10th byte to express 
the negative/postive while the implementation in `BlockPackedReaderIterator` 
uses 8th bit of 9th byte (b9 & 0x80) to express.

Should we maybe add a check at end? I am not sure if this can be done without 
additional branching. My idea would be to use the loop till one before last and 
add the code at end. But this makes method longer again, possibly breaking 
inlining.
   
   I'd like to try to add some check for it if this version of code can work 
well.
