### Description For HNSW Graphs, the alternate encoding I implemented was GroupVarInt encoding, which in theory should be less costly both in space and runtime. The pros of this encoding would be that it allocates all of the space for a group of 4 integers in advance, and that it can encode using all 8 bits per byte instead of the 7 for VarInt. The cons are that it can only encode integers (<=32bits), and uses the first byte to encode the size of each number. However, since we are using delta encoding to condense our integers, they will never be larger than 32bits, making this irrelevant. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
