> The rest server assumes keys are always String, causing interoperability between remote endpoints limited. 
> When a cache is written via Hot Rod, by default keys will be stored as marshalled {{java.lang.String}} via {{JBossMarshaller}} (the default marshaller), or via UTF-8 in case the {{UT8Marshaller}} is chosen.
> The Rest server should accept keys in different formats than String, using an encoding for byte[] values like Base64, and pass in an special header with the key media type so that the server can use it.
> With this capability, compat mode could be avoided when writing from Hot Rod and reading from Rest and vice versa
