Hi all,
Just out of curiosity. Julian told me TSFiles make use of variable length
encoding of numeric types.
I would expect the encoding for unsigned integers to be the "ordinary" one
where 7 bits of a byte are being used for encoding the numeric value and new
bytes are added as long as the first bit is 1.
However, I would be interested in which encoding is being used for unsigned
integers? Julian posted a reply in the #iotdb slack channel, but I'm unsure
which official encoding type this is.
It most likely looks like ZigZag Encoding, but I'm a bit unsure if it really is.
Could anyone here please shed a bit of lite on this? And do we have var-length
encoding for floating-point types too?
Chris
