The number of bytes written by a Directwriter is always the same for a number of values with a number of bits per value. Still, this class does not provide a method to compute that value so users of this class are force to get the bytes written from the provided DataOutput and save that number for later reading the values.
This PR proposes adds a method that computes the values written given the total number of values and the bits required.
