PSeitz 20c87903b2 fix multivalue ff index creation regression (#1543)
fixes multivalue ff regression by avoiding using `get_val`. Line::train calls repeatedly get_val, but get_val implementation on Column for multivalues is very slow. The fix is to use the iterator instead. Longterm fix should be to remove get_val access in serialization.

Fast Field Codecs

This crate contains various fast field codecs, used to compress/decompress fast field data in tantivy.

Contributing

Contributing is pretty straightforward. Since the bitpacking is the simplest compressor, you can check it for reference.

A codec needs to implement 2 traits:

  • A reader implementing FastFieldCodecReader to read the codec.
  • A serializer implementing FastFieldCodecSerializer for compression estimation and codec name + id.

Tests

Once the traits are implemented test and benchmark integration is pretty easy (see test_with_codec_data_sets and bench.rs).

Make sure to add the codec to the main.rs, which tests the compression ratio and estimation against different data sets. You can run it with:

cargo run --features bin

TODO

  • Add real world data sets in comparison
  • Add codec to cover sparse data sets
