Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3024:
-------------------------------------------
We can borrow the vint/vlong implementation from
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/io/WritableUtils.html.
The tricky part: these are used in the Messages as well. Either we need to
version new Message serialization, or we need to keep Message (body)
serialization on the old format and keep the new one for sstables.
> sstable varint encoding

> We could save some sstable space by encoding longs and ints as vlong and
> vint, respectively. (Probably most "short" lengths would be better as vint
> as well.)
