/** Index based on a inverted file (IVF)
 *
 * In the inverted file, the quantizer (an Index instance) provides a
 * quantization index for each vector to be added. The quantization
 * index maps to a list (aka inverted list or posting list), where the
 * id of the vector is stored.
 *
 * The inverted list object is required only after trainng. If none is
 * set externally, an ArrayInvertedLists is used automatically.
 *
 * At search time, the vector to be searched is also quantized, and
 * only the list corresponding to the quantization index is
 * searched. This speeds up the search by making it
 * non-exhaustive. This can be relaxed using multi-probe search: a few
 * (nprobe) quantization indices are selected and several inverted
 * lists are visited.
 *
 * Sub-classes implement a post-filtering of the index that refines
 * the distance estimation from the query to databse vectors.
