[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-8423) Remove metadata size integer in cases where we know the size

Remove metadata size integer in cases where we know the size ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ISPN-8423 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8423 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: William Burns Assignee: William Burns We store a type with the other metadata. This tells us whether the entry is IMMORTAL, MORTAL, TRANSIENT etc. In the case of known types we already know how large the metadata is. There is no reason to write an int stating this. This can remove 4 bytes in a lot of cases, especially now that rest uses a standard metadata.
