The snappy Encode/Decode() API's accept an optional destination buffer
param where their encoded/decoded output results will be placed, but
they only check that the buffer has enough len() rather than enough
capacity before deciding to allocate a new buffer.
merging the doc value length and loc
slices into a single offset slice as that
is enough to compute the starting offset and
length of the the doc values data for a given
document inside a docValue chunk.
This API (unexported) will estimate the amount of memory needed to execute
a search query over an index before the collector begins data collection.
Sample estimates for certain queries:
{Size: 10, BenchmarkUpsidedownSearchOverhead}
ESTIMATE BENCHMEM
TermQuery 4616 4796
MatchQuery 5210 5405
DisjunctionQuery (Match queries) 7700 8447
DisjunctionQuery (Term queries) 6514 6591
ConjunctionQuery (Match queries) 7524 8175
Nested disjunction query (disjunction of disjunctions) 10306 10708

docValues are persisted along with the index,
in a columnar fashion per field with variable
sized chunking for quick look up.
-naive chunk level caching is added per field
-data part inside a chunk is snappy compressed
-metaHeader inside the chunk index the dv values
inside the uncompressed data part
-all the fields are docValue persisted in this iteration
