Hi all, Just out of curiosity. Julian told me TSFiles make use of variable length encoding of numeric types. I would expect the encoding for unsigned integers to be the "ordinary" one where 7 bits of a byte are being used for encoding the numeric value and new bytes are added as long as the first bit is 1. However, I would be interested in which encoding is being used for unsigned integers? Julian posted a reply in the #iotdb slack channel, but I'm unsure which official encoding type this is. It most likely looks like ZigZag Encoding, but I'm a bit unsure if it really is. Could anyone here please shed a bit of lite on this? And do we have var-length encoding for floating-point types too?
