Abstract: The partitioned Elias-Fano algorithm was applied to the compression of inverted indexes, showing good compression performance. This paper proves Golomb-Rice algorithm offers better compression than Elias-Fano. Combining with the basic idea ‘partition’ of partitioned Elias-Fano algorithm, we propose partitioned Elias-Fano-Golomb-Rice index compression algorithm. Experimental results show that the partitioned Elias-Fano-Golomb-Rice index compression algorithm provides better compression, compared with partitioned Elias-Fano algorithmand other compression algorithms of inverted indexes.
