      public final class DirectPostingsFormat
      extends PostingsFormat

  Wraps `Lucene50PostingsFormat` format for on-disk storage, but then at read time loads and stores all terms and postings directly in RAM as byte[], int[].

  WARNING: This is exceptionally RAM intensive: it makes no effort to compress the postings data, storing terms as separate byte[] and postings as separate int[], but as a result it gives substantial increase in search performance.

  This postings format supports `TermsEnum.ord()` and `TermsEnum.seekExact(long)`.

  Because this holds all term bytes as a single byte[], you cannot have more than 2.1GB worth of term bytes in a single segment.

  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    - #### DirectPostingsFormat

          public DirectPostingsFormat(int minSkipCount,
                                      int lowFreqCutoff)

      minSkipCount is how many terms in a row must have the same prefix before we put a skip pointer down. Terms with docFreq <= lowFreqCutoff will use a single int[] to hold all docs, freqs, position and offsets; terms with higher docFreq will use separate arrays.
