Vladimir Ozerov commented on IGNITE-5097:
-----------------------------------------
I would only do that for arrays. Applying varlens to enums and decimals would
make them hard to analyze and parse and hence may cause slowdown in SQL and
sereliazation and deserialization.
> BinaryMarshaller should write ints in "varint" encoding where it makes sense

> Key: IGNITE-5097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-5097
> Project: Ignite
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: general
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
> Assignee: Vyacheslav Daradur
> Labels: important, performance
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> There are a lot of places in the code where we write integers for some
> special purposes. Quite often their value will be vary small, so that
> applying "varint" format could save a lot of space at the cost of very low
> additional CPU overhead.
> Specifically:
> 1) Array/collection/map lengths
> 2) BigDecimal's (usually will save ~6 bytes)
> 3) Strings
> 4) Enum ordinals
