Hi

Bleve uses an inverted index. It uses a structure called the term dictionary which maps a term to documents containing the term. These documents form a list called the posting list(which we encode using bitmaps).

Hope this answers your question, please let me know if I can provide more information.

Thanks,

Aditi.

Hi Aditi,

Thank you for explaining the use of the inverted index and bitmap encoding in Bleve.
Can you also let me know where I can find the bitmap encoding code in the Bleve library or where I can find more information about it?
