Optimization in the column data getting stored in single column of index table

[anoopsjohn]

We store some 6 bytes of data with every KV getting added into the index table. (One int and one short) We can use vint here? Mostly these int and short can be represented using 1 bytes each. So in effect we can save 4 bytes with each KV in the index table.

When we do removal of padding bytes from index rk, we can do this also. Both basically breaks the BC on old data.
