[stargate] multipart binary encoding option
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1788
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1788
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
            Assignee: Andrew Purtell
            Priority: Trivial


Add support for multipart/related encoded entity bodies.

There is support already for binary encoding also but not multipart  -- operations with application/octet-stream encoding are limited to single KVs. 

Multipart/related is not necessarily efficient. Timestamps and column names would be sent as X-headers mixed between the binary blobs, and the part headers and border adds more overhead. The only reason to support it is if someone cannot use protobufs as an alternative to XML.
