Field numbers in the range 16 through 2047 take two bytes. So you should reserve the numbers 1 through 15 for very frequently occurring message elements. Remember to leave some room for frequently occurring elements that might be added in the future.\r\n\r\nAlthough `FeatureSpec` is registry (meta)data that is not used in high-throughput RPCs or Kafka messages currently, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to move the TFDV stats and reserve low-number fields while we can. The cost is low.\r\n\r\n[1]: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#assigning-field-numbers","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ches","@type":"Person","name":"ches"},"datePublished":"2020-05-01T06:49:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/667/feast/issues/667"}
