   oops, sorry for the delay
   
   >@clintropolis i looked at the long encoding work some more and think it 
handles everything for us. If we take a look at VSizeLongSerde.getSerializer() 
it looks like it only stores the bits it needs. 
   
   yes, it does bit-packing so should effectively achieve the same thing
   
   >I think this PR is not necessary with this feature, but I do have a 
suggestion. I believe this patch has been in for a while and we should make 
long encoding on by default. When I tested the encoding vs unsigned int, it 
encoded better because it rarely stored leading 0's. What do you think about me 
closing this PR and having another one to have long encoding on by default in 
druid
   
   I think it would be reasonable to turn on by default. I used to have some 
worries about the performance since the abstraction seems to cause some 
overhead, especially in the non-vectorized engine, at least the last time I 
measured this

 as seen by this chart where the 'auto' encoded data grew at a faster rate than 
the 'longs' encoding (top chart is basically segment scan time from 0 to 100% 
selection) that i collected as part of ancient #6016 (which maybe someday I 
will get back to...).
   
   But, the difference wasn't huge, and I think the vectorization improvements 
done as part of #11004 probably make up for this, so Im ok with switching the 
default.
