 #### Characteristics
 This encoding is similar to the [RLE/bit-packing](#RLE) encoding. However the [RLE/bit-packing](#RLE) encoding is specifically used when the range of ints is small over the entire page, as is true of repetition and definition levels. It uses a single bit width for the whole page.
 The delta encoding algorithm described above stores a bit width per miniblock and is less sensitive to variations in the size of encoded integers. It is also somewhat doing RLE encoding as a block containing all the same values will be bit packed to a zero bit width thus being only a header.

 compression ratio and speed when a compression algorithm is used afterwards.
