Encodes/decodes an inverted index segment.

Note, when extending this class, the name (getName) is written into the index. In order for the segment to be read, the name must resolve to your implementation via forName(String). This method uses Java's Service Provider Interface (SPI) to resolve codec names.

If you implement your own codec, make sure that it has a no-arg constructor so SPI can load it.

Creates a new codec.

The provided name will be written into the index segment: in order to for the segment to be read this class should be registered with Java's SPI mechanism (registered in META-INF/ of your jar file, etc).

Params:
  • name – must be all ascii alphanumeric, and less than 128 characters in length.

This method is expensive and should only be called for discovery of new codecs on the given classpath/classloader!
