This might be a b/w compat issue. Safest would be to add guidePosts at the
end and keep values as-is.

> 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.
