## Class PackedDataInput

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.packed.PackedDataInput

-     public final class PackedDataInput
      extends Object

  A `DataInput` wrapper to read unaligned, variable-length packed integers. This API is much slower than the `PackedInts` fixed-length API but can be convenient to save space.
  See Also:
    `PackedDataOutput`
  NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `long` | `readLong(int bitsPerValue)` Read the next long using exactly `bitsPerValue` bits.
    `void` | `skipToNextByte()` If there are pending bits (at most 7), they will be ignored and the next value will be read starting at the next byte.
