> The Data transfer between client and datanode and between datanode and datanode is a streaming
> protocol where messages and data is sent across a tcp connection.
> The messages are not concrete data types (ie they are not classes or interfaces), instead the fields are marshalled and unmarshalled in in various classes. 
> The message exchange could be made concrete by declaring message data types and/or interfaces.
> This will help future automated versioning via protocol-buffers style approach. It will also help document the interface and can simplify the code.
