/**
* Encodes/decode postings in packed int blocks for faster
* decode.
* Block postings format, which encodes postings in packed int blocks
* for faster decode.
*
* <p>
* Basic idea:
* <ul>
* <li>
* <b>Packed Block and VInt Block</b>:
* <p>In packed block, integers are encoded with the same bit width ({@link PackedInts packed format}),
* the block size (i.e. number of integers inside block) is fixed. </p>
* <p>In VInt block, integers are encoded as {@link DataOutput#writeVInt VInt},
* the block size is variable.</p>
* </li>
*
* <li>
* <b>Block structure</b>:
* <p>When the postings is long enough, BlockPostingsFormat will try to encode most integer data
* as packed block.</p>
* <p>Take a term with 259 documents as example, the first 256 document ids are encoded as two packed
* blocks, while the remaining 3 as one VInt block. </p>
* <p>Different kinds of data are always encoded separately into different packed blocks, but may
* possible be encoded into a same VInt block. </p>
* <p>This strategy is applied to pairs:
* &lt;document number, frequency&gt;,
* &lt;position, payload length&gt;,
* &lt;position, offset start, offset length&gt;, and
* &lt;position, payload length, offsetstart, offset length&gt;.</p>
* </li>
*
* <li>
* <b>Skipper setting</b>:
* <p>The structure of skip table is quite similar to Lucene40PostingsFormat. Skip interval is the
* same as block size, and each skip entry points to the beginning of each block. However, for
* the first block, skip data is omitted.</p>
* </li>
*
* <li>
* <b>Positions, Payloads, and Offsets</b>:
* <p>A position is an integer indicating where the term occured in one document.
* A payload is a blob of metadata associated with current position.
* An offset is a pair of integers indicating the tokenized start/end offsets for given term
* in current position. </p>
* <p>When payloads and offsets are not omitted, numPositions==numPayloads==numOffsets (assuming a
* null payload contributes one count). As mentioned in block structure, it is possible to encode
* these three either centralizedly or separately.
* <p>For all the cases, payloads and offsets are stored together. When encoded as packed block,
* position data is separated out as .pos, while payloads and offsets are encoded in .pay (payload
* metadata will also be stored directly in .pay). When encoded as VInt block, all these three are
* stored in .pos (so as payload metadata).</p>
* </li>
* </ul>

* </li>
* <li>PackedBlockSize is fixed block size for packed blocks. In packed block, bit width is
* determined by the largest integer. Smaller block size result in smaller variance among width
* of integers hence smaller indexes. Larger block size result in more efficient bulk i/o hence
* better acceleration. This value should always be a multiple of 64, currently fixed as 128 as
* a tradeoff. It is also the skip interval used to accerlerate {@link DocsEnum#advance(int)}.
* <li>DocFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermFreqs within the .doc file.
* In particular, it is the difference of file offset between this term's
* data and previous term's data (or zero, for the first term in the block).</li>
* <li>PayFPDelta determines the position of this term's payload or offset data within the .pay file.
* Similar to DocFPDelta, it is the difference between two file positions (or neglected,
* for fields that omit payloads and offsets, or for the first term in the block).</li>
* <!--TODO: not quite sure, what is the difference?-->
* <li>PosFPDelta and PosBlockFPDelta determine the position of this term's TermPositions within
* the .pos file.
* <li>PosBlockFPDelta determines the position of this term's TermPositions within the .pos file.
* Similar to DocFPDelta, it is the difference between two file positions (or neglected,
* for fields that omit position data, or for the first term in the block).</li>
* <li>SkipFPDelta determines the position of this term's SkipData within the .doc
* file. In particular, it is the number of bytes after TermFreqs that the
* SkipData starts. In other words, it is the length of the TermFreq data.
* SkipDelta is only stored if DocFreq is not smaller than SkipMinimum,
* (i.e. 8 in BlockPostingsFormat).</li>

*
* <p>The .doc file contains the lists of documents which contain each term, along

* each packed or VInt block, when the length of document list is larger than packed block size.</p>

* </ul>
* <p>Notes:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>PackedDocDeltaBlock is theoretically generated from two steps:
* <ol>
* <li>Calculate the difference between each document number and previous one,
* and get a d-gaps list (for the first document, use absolute value); </li>
* <li>For those d-gaps from first one to PackedDocBlockNum*PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup>,
* seperately encode as packed blocks.</li>
* </ol>
* If frequencies are not omitted, PackedFreqBlock will be generated without d-gap step.
* </li>
* <li>VIntBlock stores remaining d-gaps (along with frequencies when possible) with a format
* mentioned in
* <!--NOTE: change this manual html link, when directory structure is changed. -->
* <a href="../../../../../org/apache/lucene/codecs/lucene40/Lucene40PostingsFormat.html#Frequencies">Lucene40PostingsFormat:Frequencies</a>
* </li>
* <li>PackedDocBlockNum is the number of packed blocks for current term's docids or frequencies.
* In particular, PackedDocBlockNum = floor(DocFreq/PackedBlockSize) </li>
* <li>TrimmedDocFreq = DocFreq % PackedBlockSize == 0 ? DocFreq - 1 : DocFreq.
* We use this trick since the definition of skip entry is a little different from base interface.
* In {@link MultiLevelSkipListWriter}, skip data is assumed to be saved for
* skipInterval<sup>th</sup>, 2*skipInterval<sup>th</sup> ... posting in the list. However,
* in BlockPostingsFormat, the skip data is saved for skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup>,
* 2*skipInterval+1<sup>th</sup> ... posting (skipInterval==PackedBlockSize in this case).
* When DocFreq is multiple of PackedBlockSize, MultiLevelSkipListWriter will expect one
* more skip data than BlockSkipWriter. </li>
* <li>SkipDatum is the metadata of one skip entry.
* For the first block (no matter packed or VInt), it is omitted.</li>
* <li>DocSkip records the document number of every PackedBlockSize<sup>th</sup> document number in
* the postings(i.e. last document number in each packed block). On disk it is stored as the
* difference from previous value in the sequence. </li>
* <li>DocFPSkip records the file offsets of each block (excluding )posting at
* PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup>, 2*PackedBlockSize+1<sup>th</sup> ... , in DocFile.
* The file offsets are relative to the start of current term's TermFreqs.
* On disk it is also stored as the difference from previous SkipDatum in the sequence.</li>
* <li>Since positions and payloads are also block encoded, the skip should skip to related block first,
* then fetch the values according to in-block offset. PosFPSkip and PayFPSkip record the file
* offsets of related block in .pos and .pay, respectively. While PosBlockOffset indicates
* which value to fetch inside the related block (PayBlockOffset is unnecessary since it is always
* equal to PosBlockOffset). Same as DocFPSkip, the file offsets are relative to the start of
* current term's TermFreqs, and stored as a difference sequence.</li>
* <li>PayLength indicates the length of last payload.</li>
* <li>OffsetStart indicates the first value of last offset pair.</li>
