Rename to PrefixByteCodec
> Compress memory used by row key byte[] of guideposts
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PHOENIX-2417
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2417
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: James Taylor
> Assignee: Ankit Singhal
> Fix For: 4.7.0
>
> Attachments: PHOENIX-2417.patch, PHOENIX-2417_encoder.diff,
> PHOENIX-2417_v2_wip.patch
>
>
> 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.
