Mikhail Bautin commented on HBASE-5612:
---------------------------------------
@Nicolas: it is not totally clear to me what you mean by a struct schema. I was
discussing data block encoding and its benefits when applied to our
applications with Liyin, and the simple example of variable-length integer
encoding for counters came up. We can take it in many different directions, and
I just want to open a discussion to gauge interest.

> In many real-life applications all values in a certain column family are of a
> certain data type, e.g. 64-bit integer. We could specify that in the column
> descriptor and enable data type-specific compression such as variable-length
> integer encoding.
