What if the field was missing?
I don't know how can we read the optional field
form the socket: we read it byte by byte, so if a byte is missing we block on read.
Something like InputStream.available() would be useful, but even that one returns "an
*estimate* of the number of bytes that can be read" - so it's not "good
enough".
Doesn't that implicitly mean the client is not (a) in a
transaction or, (b) doesn't support transactions anyway, so inherently is in (a) as
well?
