-----------------------------------------------------------
javabin can be as efficient as a format like say thrift/protocol buffers if we
do not pay the price of a string per name. We can easily achieve it using a new
type KNOWN_STRING.
KNOWN_STRING can be like an EXTERN_STRING but it is just that these are
preconfigured string names which is a map of index -> string . The known string
list can probably have a version . The client must be using a newer version
known string list than the server .
an example looks like
{code}
1:responseHeader
2:QTime
3:status
{code}
A newer version of the string list can add a new string at a new index but it
must never change the index of an existing string. This is similar to an IDL
file of thrift/protocol buffers but w/o any of those complexities
So when an EXTERN_STRING is written it first looks up in the KNOWN_STRING map.
If it is present , it is written as a KNOWN_STRING instead of an EXTERN_STRING
. The value will be the index
It can be a new type in the first 5 bits but that will make it take 2 bytes per
name. we do not have any extra type in the last 3 bits , but we can have only
one type for NamedList/SimpleOrderedMap and take up the other .
