Description
**FEATURE REQUEST**
1. Please describe the feature you are requesting.
In the V3 protocol we use Google Protobuf, which is great for portability but it forces to perform copies of the payloads of the messages.
The V2 protocol is more direct and requires no copy, but it is all hardcoded in Java/Bookeeper code and it is difficult to maitain.
We would like to have a good IDL-supported tool for writing the wire protocol with the ability to leverage power of Netty 4 ByteBuf or at least NIO ByteBuffers
