Description

Interface Summary
PackedInts.Mutable: A packed integer array that can be modified.
PackedInts.Reader: A read-only random access array of positive integers.

Class Summary
GrowableWriter: Implements `PackedInts.Mutable`, but grows the bit count of the underlying packed ints on-demand.
PackedInts: Simplistic compression for array of unsigned long values.
PackedInts.ReaderImpl: A simple base for Readers that keeps track of valueCount and bitsPerValue.
PackedInts.Writer: A write-once Writer.

## Package org.apache.lucene.util.packed Description

The packed package provides random access capable arrays of positive longs. The implementations provides different trade offs between memory usage and access speed. The standard usage scenario is replacing large int or long arrays in order to reduce the memory footprint.

The main access point is the `PackedInts` factory.
