-------------------------------
Summary: Native support for the Variable-length and Zig-zag
Variable-length integers
Key: FLINK-16009
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16009
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API / Type Serialization System
Reporter: Yun Gao
Currently Flink only support fixed-length integers. However, in many cases the
values of the integer fields tend to be small, and we could reduce the size of
serialized values by using [Variable length
encoding|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#varints]
and [Zig-zag variable-length
encoding|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#signed-integers].
