Function EncodeBytesDescending

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:547–553

EncodeBytesDescending encodes the []byte value using an escape-based encoding and then inverts (ones complement) the result so that it sorts in reverse order, from larger to smaller lexicographically.

(b []byte, data []byte)

// so that it sorts in reverse order, from larger to smaller
// lexicographically.
func EncodeBytesDescending(b []byte, data []byte) []byte {
	n := len(b)
	b = EncodeBytesAscending(b, data)
	b[n] = bytesDescMarker
	onesComplement(b[n+1:])
	return b
}

// DecodeBytesAscending decodes a []byte value from the input buffer
// which was encoded using EncodeBytesAscending. The decoded bytes
