I couldn't run

hello, I'm trying to replace the fastPFor java code with golang, but when the array I sent in my java code is outputting, I'm getting an error over golang.

The error I get is: fastpfor/Compression Length = 0. No work done.

What exactly could be the reason, thanks in advance.

It is not my project but it appears that you are asking it to store the compressed result in an empty slice (out). It may not have the room to write anything!

I don't think so, I tried with "out := make([]int32, 100)" but still got the same error.
inlength = encoding.FloorBy(inlength, DefaultBlockSize) if inlength == 0 { return errors.New("fastpfor/Compress: inlength = 0. No work done.") }

I have 23k values ​​in my input array. I think there is a problem here

In your example, you appear to have a single value in the array.

This being said, fastpfor.New() is not meant to be used alone. It is a block-oriented compressor. I don't know what the exact configuration is, in this project, but it probably will compress blocks of (say) 256 values. You can't compress a single integer with it. So you need to pair fastpfor with a code that can handle the tail. You can do so by following the conventions of this project as follows...

	codec =  composition.New(fastpfor.New(), variablebyte.New())
	err := codec.Compress(dd, inpos, len(dd), out, outpos)

Does that help?

Note that I am not the maintainer of this project.

I'm getting an error while downloading the package, is it because of me?
