+Run-End Encoded Layout
+-------------------------
+
+Run-End is a data representation that represents data as sequences of the
+same value, called runs. Each run is represented as a value, and an integer
+describing the index in the array where the run ends.

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   Run-end encoding (REE) is a variation of run-length encoding (RLE). Run-end
   encoding is well-suited for representing data containing sequences of the 
same
   value, called runs. In run-end encoding, each run is represented as a value
   and an integer giving the index in the array where the run ends.
