Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-8089:
-------------------------------------
I'm beginning to think variable-length encoding for anything but char,byte
arrays is an unnecessary micro-optimization. Instead of helping a user pack
data via encoding, we should encourage the use of compression.
> Add type support

> This proposal outlines an improvement to HBase that provides for a set of
> types, above and beyond the existing "byte-bucket" strategy. This is intended
> to reduce user-level duplication of effort, provide better support for
> 3rd-party integration, and provide an overall improved experience for
> developers using HBase.
