Review comment:
       How about let's use enum at this moment. We can discuss more, if we 
decide to associate an id with each key later on, as long as we associate the 
first key with 0, second with 1, third key with 3...The bytes send on wire will 
not change. We can address it in a separate PR, it's just some code level 
change, will not change any payloads.
