ByteSource.VariableLengthUnsignedInteger (apache-cassandra API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.cassandra.utils.bytecomparable.ByteSource.VariableLengthUnsignedInteger

All Implemented Interfaces:

ByteSource

Enclosing interface:

ByteSource
```
public static class ByteSource.VariableLengthUnsignedInteger
extends java.lang.Object
implements ByteSource
```
Variable-length encoding for unsigned integers. The encoding is similar to UTF-8 encoding. Numbers between 0 and 127 are encoded in one byte, using 0 in the most significant bit. Larger values have 1s in as many of the most significant bits as the number of additional bytes in the representation, followed by a 0. This ensures that longer numbers compare larger than shorter ones. Since we never use a longer representation than necessary, this implies numbers compare correctly. As the number of bytes is specified in the bits of the first, no value is a prefix of another.
