Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-9499:
----------------------------------------------
I was thinking that we'd just implement what UTF8 does, except without
self-synchronization semantics, which we don't really care about (so using the
full range of the subsequent bytes, instead of using up their first 2 bits
with the '10' marker).
They way you tell the difference between length bits and value bits in the
first byte is by separating the length bits and value bits by a mandatory 0 bit.

> 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.
