当你每天打开电脑,在百度搜索框中输入你要搜索的内容,按下回车之后,你可能不会意识到,有无数台主机在飞速运转,对比了数百万条记录,经过初步结果集生成、相关度打分、结果排序、摘要生成之后,才最终在你的屏幕上打出了你想要的结果。这一切仅仅发生在几毫秒之间。
是什么保证了如此迅速的检索速度呢?良好的索引构建是其中的要素之一。通常情况下,搜索引擎内部会为每个网页或文章分配一个数字id,用这个id代表这个网页或者文章。构建索引的时候,采用分词工具将这些网页或者文章分成一个个词,并网页id存储在称为倒排索引表的数据结构中。
由于网络空间巨大,对应的倒排索引表所占的空间也很大,对倒排索引表进行压缩显得非常必要。由于倒排索引表中存储的全部都是数字,对其进行压缩有着专门的方法,Gamma编码就是其中的一种。Gamma编码是一种基于位的变长编码,介绍它之前先说一下一元编码。
一元编码:将 n 表示成 n 个1和最后一个0,
比如: 3的一元码是 1110
40的一元码是 11111111111111111111111111111111111111110
- Gamma将数G字表示成长度(length)和偏移(offset)两部分;
- offset部分对应G的二进制编码,只不过将首部的1去掉。
例如 13 → 1101 → 101 = 偏移;- length部分采用一元编码,表示偏移部分的位数。
例如G=13(偏移101),偏移长度为3,一元编码1110- G的?编码就是将长度部分和偏移部分两者联接起来得到的结果。
以下代码实现了对倒排索引表进行Gamma编码:
