Ankit Singhal commented on PHOENIX-2417:
----------------------------------------
[~jamestaylor],is the compression suggested above possible with the new
implementation of stats table in PHOENIX-2143?
|PHYSICAL_NAME |VARCHAR|
|COLUMN_FAMILY |VARCHAR|
|GUIDE_POST_KEY| VARBINARY|
> Compress memory used by row key byte[] of guideposts

> We've found that smaller guideposts are better in terms of minimizing any
> increase in latency for point scans. However, this increases the amount of
> memory significantly when caching the guideposts on the client. Guidepost are
> equidistant row keys in the form of raw byte[] which are likely to have a
> large percentage of their leading bytes in common (as they're stored in
> sorted order. We should use a simple compression technique to mitigate this.
> I noticed that Apache Parquet has a run length encoding - perhaps we can use
> that.
