// Here is a high-level overview of the protocol. The protocol is designed in a
// "message-passing" style, i.e., the client (C) or the server (S) can send any
// message SPONTANEOUSLY at any time and both sides have to be prepared for any
// message from the other side. However, even with this style, there are some
// "flows" which are somewhat like requests and replies.

// 1. Initialization: When a client starts up, it needs a token to alow it to
//    perform any other operation with the server.
//    C -> S: InitializeMessage
//    S -> C: TokenControlMessage
//
// 2. Registration: When a client has to register or unregister for a set of
//    objects, the following flow occurs:
//    C -> S: RegistrationMessage
//    S -> C: RegistrationStatusMessage
//
// 3. Invalidation: The server sends an invalidation and the client sends back
//    an ack.
//    S -> C InvalidationMessage
//    C -> S InvalidationMessage
//
// 4. Registration sync: Once in a while the server may detect that the client
//    and server's registration state is out of sync (the server can detect this
//    since it gets the client's registration summary in the client's message
//    header). In that case, it asks the client some registration information
//    and the client sends it to the server.
//    S -> C: RegistrationSyncRequestMessage
//    C -> S: RegistrationSyncMessage
//
// 5. Information messages: The server can occasionally for client-side
//    information such as statistics, etc. The client responds with the
//    requested information
//    S -> C: InfoRequestMessage
//    C -> S: InfoMessage
//
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

// A basic message type used for versioning public proto messages and/or
// types. The two fields are supposed to be used as follows:
//
// * The major version number is changed whenever an incompatible protocol
//   change or type has been made.  When a message/object with a particular
//   major version is received, the receiver needs to either know how to handle
//   this version or it needs to drop the message
//
// * The minor version can be changed (say) to document some internal change
//   for debugging purposes. When a message is received by a receiver, it MUST
//   ignore the minor version number for making any protocol/type
//   decisions. I.e., the minor version number is for debugging purposes only.
//
//   Versioning is used in various places - for entities that are part of a
//   protocol (e.g., message requests), for various client implementations, and
//   for other data types that change independently of the protocol (e.g.,
//   session tokens).  For each versioned entity, we define a specific message
//   type to encapsulate the version of that entity (e.g., ProtocolVersion,
//   ClientVersion, etc.).
