JavaEWAH (c) Daniel Lemire, http://lemire.me/en/ This is a word-aligned compressed variant of the Java Bitset class. It uses a 64-bit RLE-like compression scheme. The goal of word-aligned compression is not to achieve the best compression, but rather to improve query processing time. Hence, we try to save CPU cycles, maybe at the expense of storage. However, the EWAH scheme we implemented is always more efficient storage-wise than an uncompressed bitmap (as implemented in the java BitSet class by Sun). For better performance, use a 64-bit JVM over 64-bit CPUs. Among other possible open source licenses, this code is licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0 (ASL2.0).

Data & Knowledge Engineering 69 (1), pages 3-28, 2010. http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.3751 == Unit testing == As of October 2011, this packages relies on Maven. To test it: mvn test See http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html for details. === Usage == See example.java. == Maven central repository == You can download JavaEWAH from the Maven central repository: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/googlecode/javaewah/JavaEWAH/ You can also specify the dependency in the Maven "pom.xml" file: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.googlecode.javaewah</groupId> <artifactId>JavaEWAH</artifactId> <version>0.3.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
