Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-9499:
---------------------------------------------
For the records, the initial intent was to actually use the existing
{{EncodedDataInputStream/EncodedDataOutputStream}} (but I haven't had time to
wire it in 8099 yet), and that's an alternative option.
That said, I do prefer the idea of adding explicit new methods for integer
encoding (if only because we have better control over which integer we actually
encode). But I believe this mean we'll also need some {{DataInputPlus}}
interface with a {{readVInt}}. And if we do that, it'd be nice to replace the
existing use of {{EncodedData*}} for the sake of not having multiple ways to do
the same thing.

> CASSANDRA-8099 really could do with a writeVInt method, for both fixing
> CASSANDRA-9498 but also efficiently encoding timestamp/deletion deltas. It
> should be possible to make an especially efficient implementation against
> BufferedDataOutputStreamPlus.
