Description

Dgraph has made public their "Serialized Roaring Bitmaps" implementation at
https://github.com/dgraph-io/sroar

sroar is a re-written version of Roaring Bitmaps in Go, with the aim to have equality between in-memory representation and on-disk representation. An sroar.Bitmap does not need to be marshalled or unmarshalled, as the underlying represetation is a byte slice. Therefore, it can be written to disk, brought to memory, or shipped over the network immediately.

I would encourage the Roaring community to go have a look.
