             Summary: Minor improvements to RowStats
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9828
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9828
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
            Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.0 beta 1


There is some small improvements/refactor I'd like to do for {{RowStats}}. More specifically, I'm attaching 3 commits:
# the first one merely rename {{RowStats}} to {{EncodingStats}}. {{RowStats}} was not a terribly helpful name while {{EncodingStats}} at least give a sense of why the thing exists.
# the 2nd one improve the serialization of those {{EncodingStats}}. {{EncodingStats}} holds both a {{minTimestamp}} and a {{minLocalDeletionTime}}, both of which are unix timestamp (or at least should be almost all the time for the timestamp by convention) and so are fairly big numbers that don't get much love (if any) from vint encoding. So the patch introducing hard-coded epoch numbers for both that roughly correspond to now, and substract that to the actual {{EncodingStats}} number to make it more rip for vint encoding. It does mean the exact encoding size will deteriorate over time, but it'll take a while before it becomes useless and we'll probably have more more change to the encodings by then anyway (and/or we can change the epoch number regularly with new versions of the messaging protocol if we so wish).
# the last patch is just a small simple cleanup.
