DirectReader (Lucene 10.5.1 core API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.util.packed, class: DirectReader

Package org.apache.lucene.util.packed

# Class DirectReader

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.util.packed.DirectReader

public class DirectReader extends Object
Retrieves an instance previously written by `DirectWriter`

Example usage:

       int bitsPerValue = DirectWriter.bitsRequired(100);
       IndexInput in = dir.openInput("packed", IOContext.DEFAULT);
       LongValues values = DirectReader.getInstance(in.randomAccessSlice(start, end), bitsPerValue);
       for (int i = 0; i < numValues; i++) {
         long value = values.get(i);
       }
