However, this increases the amount of > memory significantly when caching the guideposts on the client. Guidepost are > equidistant row keys in the form of raw byte[] which are likely to have a > large percentage of their leading bytes in common (as they're stored in > sorted order. We should use a simple compression technique to mitigate this. > I noticed that Apache Parquet has a run length encoding - perhaps we can use > that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
