Overview

Footer section describes the configuration of particular ZAP file. The format of footer is version-dependent, so it is necessary to check V field before the parsing.

Stored Fields

Stored Fields Index is D# consecutive 64-bit unsigned integers - offsets, where relevant Stored Fields Data records are located.

Stored Fields Data is an arbitrary size record, which consists of metadata and Snappy-compressed data.

Fields

Fields Index section located between addresses F and len(file) - len(footer) and consist of uint64 values (F1, F2, ...) which are offsets to records in Fields section. We have F# = (len(file) - len(footer) - F) / sizeof(uint64) fields.

Dictionaries + Postings

Each of fields has its own dictionary, encoded in Vellum format. Dictionary consists of pairs (term, offset), where offset indicates the position of postings (list of documents) for this particular term.

DocValues

DocValues Index is F# pairs of varints, one pair per field. Each pair of varints indicates start and end point of DocValues slice.
