### writeVInt

    public static void writeVInt(DataOutput stream,

                          throws IOException

  Serializes an integer to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -120 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the integer is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -121 and -124, the following integer is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). If the first byte value v is between -125 and -128, the following integer is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+124). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.

  Parameters:
    `stream` - Binary output stream
    `i` - Integer to be serialized
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### writeVLong

    public static void writeVLong(DataOutput stream,

                           throws IOException

  Serializes a long to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the long is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -113 and -120, the following long is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+112). If the first byte value v is between -121 and -128, the following long is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.
