[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-5612) Data types for HBase values

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5612?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13234895#comment-13234895 ] 

Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-5612:
--------------------------------------------

Are we wanting to do type-specific compression for a struct schema or do we want to do something higher-level?  For example, are you suggesting something like Megastore or are suggesting something like JSON format where we can do optimizations like dictionary hashing?

> In many real-life applications all values in a certain column family are of a certain data type, e.g. 64-bit integer. We could specify that in the column descriptor and enable data type-specific compression such as variable-length integer encoding.
