Tantivy used to assume that all files could be somehow memory mapped. After this change, Directory return a `FileSlice` that can be reduced and eventually read into an `OwnedBytes` object. Long and blocking io operation are still required by they do not span over the entire file.
go_to_first_doc was typically calling seek with a target smaller than
doc.
Since SegmentPostings typically do a linear search on the full block,
regardless of the current position, it could have our segment postings
go backward.
- Change in the DocSet and Scorer API. (@fulmicoton).
A freshly created DocSet point directly to their first doc. A sentinel value called TERMINATED marks the end of a DocSet.
`.advance()` returns the new DocId. `Scorer::skip(target)` has been replaced by `Scorer::seek(target)` and returns the resulting DocId.
As a result, iterating through DocSet now looks as follows
```rust
let mut doc = docset.doc();
while doc != TERMINATED {
// ...
doc = docset.advance();
}
```
The change made it possible to greatly simplify a lot of the docset's code.
- Misc internal optimization and introduction of the `Scorer::for_each_pruning` function. (@fulmicoton)
* Split Collector into an overall Collector and a per-segment SegmentCollector. Precursor to cross-segment parallelism, and as a side benefit cleans up any per-segment fields from being Option<T> to just T.
