Matt Corgan commented on HBASE-8496: ------------------------------------ A quick comment on encoding the tag lengths - I would recommend using a VInt rather than fixed 2 bytes. Most tags will be < 128 or 256 bytes (depending on which VInt you choose), so will fit nicely into 1 byte. A 1 byte VInt is pretty trivial to decode, maybe as easy or easier than 2 bytes. > Implement tags and the internals of how a tag should look like > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8496 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8496 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 0.98.0 > > Attachments: Tag design.pdf > > > The intent of this JIRA comes from HBASE-7897. > This would help us to decide on the structure and format of how the tags > should look like. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
