17  * At a granularity of 4KiB storage represented per bit,
18  * and stroage sizes of several TiB,
19  * and possibly small-bandwidth replication,
20  * the bitmap transfer time can take much too long,
21  * if transmitted in plain text.
22  *
23  * We try to reduce the transferred bitmap information
24  * by encoding runlengths of bit polarity.
25  *
26  * We never actually need to encode a "zero" (runlengths are positive).
27  * But then we have to store the value of the first bit.
28  * The first bit of information thus shall encode if the first runlength
29  * gives the number of set or unset bits.
30  *
31  * We assume that large areas are either completely set or unset,
32  * which gives good compression with any runlength method,
33  * even when encoding the runlength as fixed size 32bit/64bit integers.
34  *
35  * Still, there may be areas where the polarity flips every few bits,
36  * and encoding the runlength sequence of those areas with fix size
37  * integers would be much worse than plaintext.
38  *
39  * We want to encode small runlength values with minimum code length,
40  * while still being able to encode a Huge run of all zeros.
41  *
42  * Thus we need a Variable Length Integer encoding, VLI.
43  *
44  * For some cases, we produce more code bits than plaintext input.
45  * We need to send incompressible chunks as plaintext, skip over them
46  * and then see if the next chunk compresses better.
47  *
48  * We don't care too much about "excellent" compression ratio for large
49  * runlengths (all set/all clear): whether we achieve a factor of 100
50  * or 1000 is not that much of an issue.
51  * We do not want to waste too much on short runlengths in the "noisy"
52  * parts of the bitmap, though.
53  *
54  * There are endless variants of VLI, we experimented with:
55  *  * simple byte-based
56  *  * various bit based with different code word length.
57  *
58  * To avoid yet an other configuration parameter (choice of bitmap compression
59  * algorithm) which was difficult to explain and tune, we just chose the one
60  * variant that turned out best in all test cases.
61  * Based on real world usage patterns, with device sizes ranging from a few GiB
62  * to several TiB, file server/mailserver/webserver/mysql/postgress,
63  * mostly idle to really busy, the all time winner (though sometimes only
64  * marginally better) is:

67 /*
68  * encoding is "visualised" as
69  * __little endian__ bitstream, least significant bit first (left most)
70  *
71  * this particular encoding is chosen so that the prefix code
72  * starts as unary encoding the level, then modified so that
73  * 10 levels can be described in 8bit, with minimal overhead
74  * for the smaller levels.
75  *
76  * Number of data bits follow fibonacci sequence, with the exception of the
77  * last level (+1 data bit, so it makes 64bit total).  The only worse code when
78  * encoding bit polarity runlength is 1 plain bits => 2 code bits.
