[infinispan-dev] data interoperability and remote querying

That is write the Person object in Java and read a Person object in C#, assume a hotrod client for simplicity. Now at some point we'll have to run a query over the same hotrod, something like "give me all the Persons named Mircea". At this stage, the server side needs to be aware of the Person object in order to be able to run the query and select the relevant Persons. It needs a schema. Instead of suggesting Avro as an data interoperability protocol, we might want to define and use this schema instead: we'd need it anyway for remote querying and we won't have two ways of doing the same thing.
