Method Detail

decompress

public void decompress(org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef input,
              org.apache.lucene.util.IntsRef output)

Description copied from class: BlockDecompressor

Decompress the specified byte array into a list of integers.

Specified by:

decompress in class BlockDecompressor

getWindowSize

public int getWindowSize()

Description copied from class: BlockDecompressor

Return the window size over the IntsRef output buffer used during decompression.

This is to avoid ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the decompressor is working on a buffer which size does not match a multiple of the window size.

For example, AForBlockDecompressor is performing decompression using a window of 32 integers. In the case of short postings list with 5 integers, the instantiated output buffer must be a multiple of window size, i.e., 32 in this case. If the postings list would contain 33 integers instead, then the instantiated output buffer should be 64.
