Description
This PR introduces a monotonic integer sequence encoding scheme for doc IDs in IdMapIndex and offsets in FAISS HNSW.
Previously, both were stored as long[], consuming O(N) memory where N is the total number of vectors. For example, with a 10M dataset, they occupied 228MB (76MB + 152MB). Using monotonic encoding, this can be reduced to a few hundred KB. Lucene already uses this encoding scheme Link
The key difference is that Lucene applies encoding during segment creation, whereas we do it at load time. However, encoding is extremely fast, on my local setup it takes about 3.2 seconds for 100M integers.
A warm-up API could further optimize this by preloading data before search, though this hasn't been raised yet, but it is part of future PR.
