Terje Marthinussen commented on CASSANDRA-3024:
-----------------------------------------------
I have ported stuff related to handling this for columns/supercolumns (requires
changes to size calculations as well) including more dense timestamp handling.
I was looking quickly at the sstables as well as other places where we write
short/ints/longs and I started realizing that modifying all of this gets a bit
of a work.
What about changing RandomAccessReader to something like (Descriptor desc,...)
rather than (File file, ....) and adding backwards compatibility there for
fixed length/ variable length readInt/Long there?
On the write side, modify SequentialWriter with overrides for variable length
write methods.
Any objections against doing this at such a "low" level?

> We could save some sstable space by encoding longs and ints as vlong and

> as well.)
