[infinispan-dev] Stream encoding of Flags and future compatibility

[Sanne Grinovero]

I'm having an interesting "chat" with Galder on github after a pull request:
https://github.com/galderz/infinispan/commit/74b065d4f520d4a22dfa6ef78ae80e7aa19621d3#commitcomment-1310043

The pull request itself was resolved, but we ended up brainstorming
about how we should encode some objects (Flags in this case) to make
sure we don't make it highly unlikely to be able to support rolling
upgrades in the future.. which is something we really have to think
about today imho.

Cheers,
Sanne
