> Key: IGNITE-6128
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-6128
> Project: Ignite
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: binary
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
> Priority: Major
> Labels: iep-2, performance

> Currently we write offsets for every field. It could take 1, 2 or 4 bytes depending on the data length of the object. Now suppose we have the following class:
> {code}
> class MyClass {
> int a;
> String c;
> long b;
> int d;
> int e;
> }
> {code}
> Fields are always sorted in alphabetical order, so we will write them as follows {{[a, b, c, d, e]}}, and their offsets would always be {{[0, 5, 14, X, X+5]}}. As you see, instead of writing 5 offsets, it is enough to write only one offset of a field, which follows another variable-length field. The rest offsets could be saved to metadata.
