[jira] [Created] (FLINK-16009) Native support for the
Variable-length and Zig-zag Variable-length integers
Yun Gao created FLINK-16009:
-------------------------------
Summary: Native support for the Variable-length and Zig-zag Variable-length integers
Key: FLINK-16009
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16009
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API / Type Serialization System
Reporter: Yun Gao
Currently Flink only support fixed-length integers. However, in many cases the values of the integer fields tend to be small, and we could reduce the size of serialized values by using [Variable length encoding|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#varints] and [Zig-zag variable-length encoding|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#signed-integers].
