> In PATCHED_BLOB encoding (added in HIVE-4123), gapVsPatchList is an array of
> long that stores gap (g) between the values that are patched and the patch
> value (p). The maximum distance of gap can be 511 that require 8 bits to
> encode. And patch values can take more than 56 bits. When patch values take
> more than 56 bits, p + g will become > 64 bits which cannot be packed to a
> long. This will result in data corruption under the case where patch values
> are > 56 bits.
