## org.apache.lucene.facet.encoding
Class IntEncoder

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.facet.encoding.IntEncoder

Direct Known Subclasses:
  ChunksIntEncoder, DGapVInt8IntEncoder, IntEncoderFilter, SimpleIntEncoder, VInt8IntEncoder

    public abstract class IntEncoder

extends Object

Encodes integers to a set `BytesRef`. For convenience, each encoder implements `createMatchingDecoder()` for easy access to the matching decoder.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Constructor Summary
`IntEncoder()`

Method Summary
`abstract IntDecoder` `createMatchingDecoder()` Returns an `IntDecoder` which can decode the values that were encoded with this encoder.
`abstract void` `encode(IntsRef values, BytesRef buf)` Encodes the values to the given buffer.
