Terje Marthinussen commented on CASSANDRA-3024: ----------------------------------------------- For my test data (real life dataset using supercolumns) I got 10% additional size reduction over compression using vlq coded numbers on supercolumns/columns as well as column timestamps which are relative to the supercolumns rather than absolute timestamps. Already have some code for row relative timestamps, but not tested that yet > sstable and message varint encoding > ----------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3024 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3024 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > > We could save some sstable space by encoding longs and ints as vlong and > vint, respectively.
