          org.apache.lucene.util.packed.PackedInts.Format

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<PackedInts.Format>

Enclosing class:
  PackedInts

    public static enum PackedInts.Format

extends Enum<PackedInts.Format>

A format to write packed ints.

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Enum Constant Summary
`PACKED` Compact format, all bits are written contiguously.
`PACKED_SINGLE_BLOCK` A format that may insert padding bits to improve encoding and decoding speed.

Field Summary
`int` `id`

Method Summary
`static PackedInts.Format` `byId(int id)` Get a format according to its ID.
`long` `byteCount(int packedIntsVersion, int valueCount, int bitsPerValue)` Computes how many byte blocks are needed to store `values` values of size `bitsPerValue`.
`int` `getId()` Returns the ID of the format.
`boolean` `isSupported(int bitsPerValue)` Tests whether the provided number of bits per value is supported by the format.
`int` `longCount(int packedIntsVersion, int valueCount, int bitsPerValue)` Computes how many long blocks are needed to store `values` values of size `bitsPerValue`.
`float` `overheadPerValue(int bitsPerValue)` Returns the overhead per value, in bits.
`float` `overheadRatio(int bitsPerValue)` Returns the overhead ratio (`overhead per value / bits per value`).
`static PackedInts.Format` `valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static PackedInts.Format[]` `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

### PACKED

    public static final PackedInts.Format PACKED

  Compact format, all bits are written contiguously.

### PACKED_SINGLE_BLOCK

    public static final PackedInts.Format PACKED_SINGLE_BLOCK

  A format that may insert padding bits to improve encoding and decoding speed. Since this format doesn't support all possible bits per value, you should never use it directly, but rather use `PackedInts.fastestFormatAndBits(int, int, float)` to find the format that best suits your needs.

Field Detail

### id

    public int id

Method Detail

### values

    public static PackedInts.Format[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (PackedInts.Format c : PackedInts.Format.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static PackedInts.Format valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### byId

    public static PackedInts.Format byId(int id)

  Get a format according to its ID.

### getId

    public int getId()

  Returns the ID of the format.

### byteCount

    public long byteCount(int packedIntsVersion,
                          int valueCount,
                          int bitsPerValue)

  Computes how many byte blocks are needed to store `values` values of size `bitsPerValue`.

### longCount

    public int longCount(int packedIntsVersion,
                         int valueCount,
                         int bitsPerValue)

  Computes how many long blocks are needed to store `values` values of size `bitsPerValue`.

### isSupported

    public boolean isSupported(int bitsPerValue)

  Tests whether the provided number of bits per value is supported by the format.

### overheadPerValue

    public float overheadPerValue(int bitsPerValue)

  Returns the overhead per value, in bits.

### overheadRatio

    public final float overheadRatio(int bitsPerValue)

  Returns the overhead ratio (`overhead per value / bits per value`).
