             Summary: BinaryMarshaller should write ints in "varint" encoding where it makes sense
                 Key: IGNITE-5097
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-5097
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: general
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
             Fix For: 2.1


There are a lot of places in the code where we write integers for some special purposes. Quite often their value will be vary small, so that applying "varint" format could save a lot of space at the cost of very low additional CPU overhead. 

Specifically:
1) Array/collection/map lengths
2) BigDecimal's (usually will save ~6 bytes)
3) Strings
4) Enum ordinals
