Properties for each message
---------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1250
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1250
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.12


JGroups already has the ability to bypass certain protocols, e.g. NO_FC set in a message bypasses any flow control layer. 

It would be nice to do this for other protocols, too, e.g. SEQUENCER, but this needs to be done in a generic fashion.

What should be done is to use *properties*, e.g. +reliable-mcast, -frag, +flowcontrol, -bundling etc. Based on these flags, each protocol decides whether to handle (or not) a message. The properties should not take up *any* space in a message if not set.

This can probably be generalized, ie. by annotating a protocol with the props it provides, e.g. @Reliable @ReliableUnicast UNICAST, and by having code which matches the flags in a message and decides whether or not to process the message.
